  4. Innovation How is this project or research innovative? How will it expand the realm of effective practice in teaching and learning at UAlberta? “normal course development activities will not be funded” Normal activities “updating” “modernizing” Innovative “discovery learning” “community service learning” “mobile learning” Discipline focus Learner focus
  5. Collaboration • between faculties, departments, and/or divisions • among students and faculty providing students opportunities to participate in a learner-centered environment with community partners Clear roles and synergy in collaboration
  6. Evaluation Include comprehensive evaluation strategy what are the desired results? how will these be measured? Specific research questions and related research methodology need to be defined.
  7. Sustainability Demonstrate how the proposed activity has the potential for sustained improvements in educational outcomes. How will the project or research: • make optimal use of existing resources • benefit a significant number of students • continue to operate or provide benefit beyond the TLEF support period?
  8. Dissemination How will you share your idea and results with: other UAlberta instructors ? Festival of Teaching Centre for Teaching and Learning workshops University Teaching Program (FGSR) UAlberta students ? within discipline ? < 10% of total project budget
  9. Useful Supplements Relationship of educational theory to practice Alignment with Dare to Discover
  10. Budget and Schedule of Timelines be specific about how budget is derived align with the fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) use the single-year or multi-year budget template indicate project or research timelines for major activities
  11. Important Budgetary Considerations bulk of the budget will be used to support activities that promote high quality teaching and learning at UAlberta requests for capital equipment (e.g. computers) must be shown to be integral to the proposal principal and co-applicants cannot receive remuneration funds for teaching release will be considered only in exceptional circumstances
  12. Appraisal Letter from Chair or Dean extent to which the proposed activities are likely to benefit students and instructors within the Faculty and University indicator of long-term sustainability of the project or research within the Faculty Dean’s Ranking
  13. TLEF Proposal Review Prior to adjudication meeting: Any conflicts of interest identified Each grant reviewed by all committee members Each give summary score of Yes/Maybe/No At adjudication meeting: Committee members in conflict leave room Primary reviewer provides brief summary Secondary reviewer adds comments Proposal is discussed by committee Decisions are reached by consensus All proposals discussed
  14. Funding Decisions Full funding Partial funding Conditional funding Unfunded
  15. Keys for a Successful Proposal Know your audience Clear, well-written, well-organized proposal Why is this the best use of TLEF funds?
