Call for Assessment Grant Proposals

The Vice President for Academic Affairs is inviting grant proposals that examine University-wide issues as well as discipline-specific questions. Faculty and staff may submit proposals in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to, improving curriculum, developing and refining student learning outcomes in the disciplines, improving retention and graduation rates, enhancing student success, enhancing student assessment motivation and improving current assessment tools.

The Assessment Grants are directed toward the basic goals of improving the quality of student learning and development and enhancing the culture of assessment through faculty and staff participation in assessment research and scholarship. All competitive grant proposals should focus on the use of assessment data to answer questions of importance to the University community.

Applications are due to the division or supervisor offices by March 1, and to the VPAA Office by March 8. See http://assessment.truman.edu/grants/ for grant guidelines, past approved projects and a printable application form.
