Summer Teaching Grant Applications

The committee members compared the evaluation scores of the 15 Summer Teaching Grant Applications. Using average scores across the seven criteria and three evaluators, the proposals were ranked from highest score to lowest. This list will be forwarded to Academic Affairs for the final decision on the awards.

Some concern was expressed over the criteria used to evaluate the proposals. Committee members discussed whether the criteria might be made more explicit in order to facilitate the writing and review of these proposals. The committee also discussed the eligibility criteria, and whether awardees should be eligible the following year or wait one year to apply for another grant. Chair Mays will consult with Academic Affairs regarding whether it would be appropriate for the Faculty Enhancement Committee to recommend changes to the eligibility and evaluation criteria, and to the application form. Committee members are asked to bring suggestions regarding such changes to the next meeting.
