• Instructional Development Fund (IDF)
The competition is open, on the Ann Arbor campus of the University, to members of the following groups: all tenured and tenure-track faculty; clinical instructional faculty; and Lecturers who have continuing appointments and course development responsibilities (i.e., an assignment from the dean, chair, or designee to develop a new course or significantly revise an existing course). Faculty members are invited to apply for small grants up to $500 from CRLT’s Instructional Development Fund to support innovative activities to improve teaching and learning. Expenses that can be covered by these grants include supplies and equipment, programming or research assistance, conference fees and expenses, and summer projects aimed at developing or enhancing courses. Each academic year, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted.
To ensure that a variety of applicants have the opportunity to implement innovative teaching and learning activities, recipients of IDF grants during an academic calendar year (Sept-August) will not be eligible to receive funding for an IDF grant during the next academic calendar year, but they are welcome to apply again in the following year.
