TCU announces collaborative grant funds for faculty, staff & students
In an effort to promote new collaborative initiatives, Tri-College University announces the availability of one-time start-up grant funds for faculty, staff and students. TCU has found that through sharing resources, a greater number of people can be positively impacted and efficiencies readily obtained. This TCU program is intended to develop collaborative relationships between people in our campus community who share a common interest and vision.
“The grant program is in its third year and we have seen successful collaborations between partnering campuses, faculty and students,” said TCU Provost Tim Flakoll. Projects funded in the past two years have included campus collaborations in forming a women’s collegiate lacrosse club, design of an electronics lab manual for physics and engineering students, and exploring emerging technologies for class room instruction.
Interested faculty, staff and students at each campus are encouraged to submit a grant application detailing their project, need that it fills, level of collaboration and participation between campuses, expected outcomes and level of funding they are seeking. Grants awarded will range from $250 – $1,000. Availability and level of awards are subject to the availability of funds at Tri-College University. Matching funds are not required for eligibility.
To apply for these grant funds, the campus community may access an application from the TCU website at www.tri-college.org, or by calling Sonia Mayo Hohnadel, TCU Communications Coordinator at 701.231.8170. Application deadline is April 16, 2010.
