HILT Cultivation Grant application deadline extended

The Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT) announced they have extended the Cultivation Grant application submission deadline to Friday, December 13.

Cultivation Grants are awards of $100 – 200K designed to extend promising educational innovations into new intellectual and institutional contexts, and to rigorously investigate the potential of their wide-scale adoption across the University. Primary applicants must be full-time, Harvard University benefits-eligible faculty members. While all proposals will be considered fully, HILT is especially interested in projects that target the following areas:

• Curricular review and renewal
• Novel mechanisms for teaching and learning skill development
• Cross-area educational research

The application review period will take place this winter and early spring. Finalists will present to a faculty selection committee in April before awards are announced in May 2014.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact HILT with any questions at HILT_grants@harvard.edu.
