Higher Education Academy Funding Call

We have just received this funding call. As usual, before putting in a lot of effort, please check that you are able to apply given that we are based on an international campus.

 


Dear All,

Current funding calls from the Higher Education Academy…

Teaching Development Grants (Departmental projects)

Open to bids of up to £30k from project teams with a discipline- or subject-specific focus with the intention of encouraging cooperation between colleagues to demonstrate impact across the School/Department. Projects will start in Jan 2014 and last 15 months and may address any of the HEA’s key themes (assessment, internationalisation, employability etc.). Only one bid per School/Department is accepted and must be supported with a letter from the Head of School/Department. Definitions of School/Dept are based on disciplinary coherence and there is a list of subject areas in the guideline document. Bids from Schools/Depts with a presence on more than one campus should encompass all campuses. Partial funding (including in-kind) is expected. Please get in touch with any questions and/or drafts for comment.

Call now open, deadline 12 noon on Friday 2nd August 2013.

In general for HEA funding, staff on all campuses are eligible to apply as members of staff at the University so long as projects benefit the UK HE sector more widely and not just the local campus. Funds awarded must be handled through a UK-based office.
