Dear colleagues
Alongside our colleagues at UBC Vancouver, I am pleased to announce the launch of two funding opportunities supporting the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL). SoTL is increasingly important within post-secondary education. By using systematic, deliberate and methodological inquiry into teaching, we can make a measurable improvement in student learning.
SoTL Seed Program
The SoTL Seed Program provides those interested in exploring the impact of their pedagogical choices with graduate research specialists, collegial collaborations, and limited funding.
All UBC faculty and staff are invited to apply. Priority is given to full-time faculty members, those who teach at the undergraduate level, and those who have not had an active SoTL Seed project in the last 12 months. The deadline for applications is May 27, 2024.
SoTL Linkage Grants
SoTL Linkage Grants were established to enable the synthesis, exploration and high-impact dissemination of interdisciplinary SoTL research. This program supports the formation of interdisciplinary teams of SoTL researchers inquiring into fundamental questions in higher education that benefit from investigation in multiple pedagogical and/or curricular contexts.
The SoTL Linkage Grants are open to interdisciplinary teams led by tenure-track faculty members (research or educational leadership) at UBC’s Vancouver campus, co-applicants can be tenure-track members from the Okanagan and/or Vancouver campus and/or other higher education institutions.
These funding opportunities expand on existing programs at UBC Okanagan to support SoTL, including ALT-2040 and teaching excellence awards. Thank you in advance for your support in encouraging colleagues to apply for these exciting opportunities to advance teaching and learning at UBC.
