The Faculty Development Committee and Council for Excellence in Teaching and Learning recognize the importance for faculty to continuously develop, update, and expand their knowledge and skills. The CPD grant is meant to complement the existing grant opportunities by supporting learning opportunities. The learning goals/skills/mechanical arts to be achieved should be tied to teaching and/or scholarly activities. The CPD grant is meant to cover expenses only (no stipends). Covered expenses include travel expenses to attend a workshop/course, course fees (including webinars or other online courses) and materials (e.g., books, DVDs, software), and housing for the duration of the course (if the course is not offered online).

The Faculty Development Committee is aware that many (research) institutions support faculty with time in the form of course releases, stipends, and help from the grants office. To stimulate external grant submissions, the GIP grant assists faculty in their role as principal investigator (PI) in the writing of grant proposals of various sizes by providing funds that can be used as a stipend or for reimbursement for travel. We encourage faculty to contact the Grants Office when writing grant proposals that require submission by an administrator.

ID grants recognize that even small sums of money can stimulate innovation and improve pedagogy. The ID expense reimbursement program is intended to be simple, eliminating lengthy proposals and supervisor letters. Applicants need only submit an Instructional Development Grant Cover Sheet and Budget Page with a 500-1,000-word narrative describing the course and its pedagogy as presently delivered and the proposed use of funds (including a budget description). More information on this grant's eligibility, restrictions, deadlines, and guidelines can be found in the most up-to-date version of the Faculty Development Handbook.
