Deadline Monday, March 13, for Smith and TCI IDEA grant applications

Monday, March 13, is the submission deadline for applications for 2023 Smith Teaching and Learning grants and for Transformational Change Initiative (TCI) Grants for Advancing IDEA (inclusivity, diversity, equity, and access).

Faculty with innovative ideas to advance teaching and learning are invited to learn more about the awards, and to apply online.

Briefly, Smith Teaching and Learning grant proposals must address classroom culture and instructional pedagogy through innovative practices that improve student learning. Focus areas for new proposals must be on at least one of the following: student equity gaps, experiential learning, or aligning multi-section courses. Smith grants launched in 2000.

Transformational Change Initiative (TCI) Grants for Advancing IDEA fund collaborations and projects of varying scope. First awarded in 2022, these grants support projects that foster conversation, reflection, insight, and understanding of IDEA within the WSU community, support interactions between WSU campuses and communities, and produce materials and resources that advance IDEA work in all teaching and learning contexts.

Smith Teaching and Learning and TCI IDEA grants have similarities but are quite distinct, with key differences between the two.

The Notices and Announcements section is provided as a service to the WSU community for sharing events such as lectures, trainings, and other highly transactional types of information related to the university experience. Information provided and opinions expressed may not reflect the understanding or opinion of WSU. Accuracy of the information presented is the responsibility of those who submitted it. The self-uploaded posts are reviewed for compliance with state statutes and ethics guidelines but are not edited for spelling, grammar, or clarity.
