RD&S - Funding - Internal Funding

Research Western, in cooperation with the Teaching Support Centre, has established the Western Research on Teaching Grant program to facilitate research on teaching and learning at Western.  The purpose of the Research on Teaching Grant program is to support the work of all faculty, librarians and archivists to conduct research on teaching developments, innovations and practices that faculty members, librarians and archivists are engaged in.  The aim of this program is not to fund the introduction of new teaching strategies, technologies or programs; rather it is to support research on such developments in order to examine their effectiveness and to contribute to the literature in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. 

Research completed under this program will help to insure that Western continues to provide the best student experience.  It is expected that this research will be disseminated widely through publication.  It is also understood that those receiving these grants will participate in the Research on Teaching Learning Community coordinated by the Teaching Support Centre and to share the results of their research in an annual symposium sponsored by the Centre.

Faculty, librarians and archivists in all disciplines across the University are encouraged to apply.  Proposals with a budget maximum of $3,000 will be considered. The Teaching Support Centre will provide consultation for those who want assistance on the design of research and/or on the preparation of proposals.
