UNIVERSITY TEACHING GRANTS COMMITTEE
Guidelines for Grant Proposals

1982-83
Scope of Funding

The University Teaching Grants Committee welcomes innovative and creative
proposals which will enhance the instructional environment of East Carolina
University. We look for seminal proposals with more than immediate impact
and with a high probability of replication. Proposals which are likely to
be funded are of two kinds, described below in order of priority for funding:

1. Proposals which create or develop new instructional approaches,
designs, or techniques. These proposals focus on the learner,
the classroom, and the classroom materials. They should not
be merely duplication of exiating practices or materials nor
mere data collection but should be strongly innovative and
of considerable significance to other instructors in the field.
Moreover, the funded endeavor should be cleariy within the
expertise of the principal investigator.

Proposals which enhance the instructional skills or develop

the expertise of the instructor. These proposals focus on the
knowledge disseminated in the classroom and should, again,
represent innovative departures from the customary and traditional.

Proposals of the second category cannot be requests for funded
travel to and participation in annual or other regularly-held
conferences, meetings and such gatherings. They can, however,
be requests for funded travel to and participation in short-
term workshops or seminars specifically designed to instruct

in or enhance skills, concepts, knowledge and methodologies in
the principal investigator's instructional field. These should
hot be viewed as travel funds supplementing or replacing those
funds disbursed annually by academic units.

Other Criteria and Restrictions

Grant applicants must be full-time faculty members of ECU. A grant
cannot be used to pay additional salary to any full-time employee nor
can grant funds be used in pursuit of a degree at any institution.

Funds are not available for student wages. All materials and equipment

purchased with funds from a grant become the property of the University.
Previous awards to a faculty member of a grant from the committee does not

prejudice the committee in any way.

 
The funds for the grant project must be spent by 15 June 1983. At the
conclusion of the grant period, the grantee must submit a final (or progress)

report to the Chairman, University Teaching Grants Committee, c/o Faculty
Senate Office.

Application Process

Fifteen copies of the proposal should be submitted to the University
Teaching Grants Committee, Faculty Senate Office, Room 140, Rawl Annex by
22 October 1982, at 5 p.m. Two application forms must be signed by the
applicant and the chair of any unit involved.

The Committee will recommend projects for funding to the Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs by 1 December 1982.
