The Teaching Innovation Program (TIP) grant is an award opportunity for departments to develop and implement plans for new and innovative approaches to teaching. The Provost’s Office is committed to providing resources and support to departments and faculty who can present a innovative plan for accomplishing the TIP program objectives.

4. Innovation of the project.
5. Realistic budget and timeline. The suggested amount awarded will be $10,000, but larger budgets could be considered.
