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.  

We welcome all teaching innovation ideas, but for Spring 2026, preference will be given to proposals implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in their courses.
