Creative Teaching Grants
OTLA provides administrative support for the Creative Teaching Grants, a program that promotes instructional creativity and experimentation.  The University Creative Teaching Committee administers the award and chooses awardees.  Full-time faculty interested in applying should ask for an application manual from OTLA (TC 402) or print out the version available below.

Applications for the 2009-2010 Creative Teaching Grants will be available near the end of the Fall 2009 semester, and the deadlines will be early January, 2010.

For reference purposes only, the 2008-2009 Creative Teaching Grant Application is available.  Please note that the cover sheets (the last two pages of the manual) can be filled out in Adobe Acrobat Reader and printed, or the document may be printed and filled out with a typewriter.   (Mac users may not be able to use the "Print Form" button on this PDF document; go to your File menu and print it as you would any other web page.) 

Note: OTLA no longer has the funds to provide Supplemental Travel Grants.
