Projects & Grants
CIT Seed Grants
CIT offers Seed Grants for faculty who want to explore technologies for a specific course-based educational need. All faculty are eligible to apply.
Seed Grants are small grants of up to $300.00 that may be used to purchase technology-related materials, such as software or hardware, to enhance or develop an instructional project. These grants are not intended for administrative purposes. An applicant can receive two grants per academic year and CIT will cover up to $300 per grant. Those who are new to technology are especially encouraged to apply.
How Do I Apply?
To request a Seed Grant, fill out the online form below.
When Do I Apply?
Seed Grants are awarded throughout the year, so there are no deadlines. You can apply at any time.
When Will I Be Notified?
Your request will be considered within 2 weeks of submission. Upon approval, the materials will be purchased for you by the CIT.
What is Expected of Me?
In order to disseminate ideas about the use of technology in education, we ask that you make a brief presentation along with other Seed Grant recipients at a Faculty Showcase session scheduled around recipients' availability. We ask that you briefly discuss how you used the materials purchased with the Seed Grant funds and address some of the following issues as appropriate:
· The overall success of using the materials purchased
· If the project wasn't a success, why not? What could we learn from your experience?
· How you benefited from developing the project
· How your students benefited from the project
· Future plans for using technology in your teaching and learning activities
