Funding opportunity: Call for PTLC Faculty Researchers

Applications for the 2015-2016 cohort of President’s Teaching and Learning Collaborative (PTLC) Faculty Researchers are now being accepted.

Central to the work of the PTLC is creating and publishing scholarship in teaching and learning that contributes both to theory and effective teaching practice in and across disciplines. To this end, each Faculty Researcher designs and undertakes an investigation aimed at deepening understanding of disciplinary pedagogy and related to an important issue in learning.

Faculty Researchers design, carry out and publish research on a particular aspect of learning in a specific course. Each investigator is supported by a coach and short seminars in how to do education research. Faculty Researchers will receive funding totaling $1,550 for their research that may include a student research assistant and travel to present one’s research.

All application materials must be submitted electronically to ptlc@colorado.edu by May 15.
