Faculty
Science Council's Course Grant
The General Science Education Committee of the Science Council offers
grants of up to $500 for science faculty who present persuasive
ideas to improve teaching and learning in specific science courses.
This program is part of an effort by the Committee to foster course
and faculty development for enhanced science teaching in Emory College.
Faculty are encouraged to submit a proposal subject to the guidelines

University
Teaching Fund
The University Teaching Fund provides intramural support for teaching

which is a standing committee of the University Senate/ Faculty

Practice Learning at Emory University
Through Emory's Office of University-Community Partnerships, faculty
may receive mini-grants to support course development. This initiative
aims to connect classrooms to communities, embrace and promote scholar
citizenship, integrate research, teaching and service, and provide
resources to department-based interships and other curricular initiatives.
Community benefit is a key element of successful proposals.
CAISER:
Collaborative Approach in Improving Science Education and Research
From the CAISER page: "CAISER is a network of faculty working together
in the development of teaching modules including lectures, experiments
and tutorials, and in the formation of inter-institutional research.
Resources from different universities will be available to the participants
to encourage multi and inter disciplinary reserach and education
between faculty and students. Workshops will be established to design
and evaluate teh network's projects and role in overall science
education. VideoCom, Web pages, research software for visualizatoin,
modeling and numerical analysis will be used to facilitate the collaboration
between these schools. An intensive dissemination and evaluation
procedure will be designed to evaluate the different activities
and function of the network."
Governor's
Teaching Fellows (GTF) Program
"Established in 1995 by Governor Zell Miller, the program is
designed to address our statewide need to improve undergraduate
instruction... The program focuses on an array of instructional,
technological, and professional topics that emerge from the interests
and needs of the participants. These symposia are also designed
to help the Fellows implement projects that will enhance the quality
of undergraduate education on their home campuses... Participants
are selected on the basis of teaching experience, interest in continuing
instructional and professional development, ability to have an impact
on their campus, and on a strong commitment and support by their
home institution during their participation in the program. Any
full-time, regular faculty member may apply... Participants receive
a stipend for full participation in either program. Meals, lodging,
and travel expenses are provided by the GTF Program."
