Enhancing Student Culture for Academic Engagement and Excellence

Overview

In the fall of 2004 and again in 2006, the Provost set aside $100,000 to stimulate changes leading to an enhanced UD student culture for academic engagement and excellence.  The Provost tasked the Faculty Development Committee (FDC) with developing guidelines and a selection process for distributing the funds in the form of grants.  The grants are designed to help foster innovations that support the implementation of “A Vision of Excellence.”  These grants will be competitively awarded up to $20,000, although we anticipate most projects to request less. Note that projects funded for 2004-5 can compete again, but must address the questions highlighted in the section of this RFP labeled “2004-5 Project Extensions.”
