Money - HEA teaching development grants

HEA launches next round of teaching development grants. Taken from: http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/news/detail/2012/tdg_2012_launch The call for bids in the Higher Education Academy’s second phase of its teaching development grants has opened today, 18 May 2012. Over the next year the HEA will make funding available to stimulate evidence-based research and encourage innovations in learning and teaching on the themes of assessment and feedback and flexible learning. However, 25% of the available funding will be reserved for an open call for learning and teaching development. These projects could build on previous pedagogic work, or they could seek to develop a new area of work entirely. Today’s call is for individual academic staff, with funding ring fenced for Fellows of the HEA and new academic staff. Proposals may request up to £7,000 and the deadline for applications is 17 June 2012. The departmental call will open on the 28 August 2012 with a closing date for applications on the 30 September 2012. The collaborative call will open on the 7 January 2013 with a closing date for applications on the 3 March 2013. Details can be found at http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/tdg
