Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education Grant Schemes
The Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education is the key government agency responsible for promoting and supporting strategic change that enhances learning and teaching in Australian universities. The Carrick Institute administers a number of Granting Schemes, Teaching Awards, Fellowships and Discipline Based Initiatives designed to raise the profile of teaching in higher education institutions.
Applying for a Grant
Grants Scheme applicants must complete an online application form and a proposal or expression of interest. The Application Form must include an endorsement from the DVC (Teaching, Learning and Equity). This means that most applications need to be forwarded to be DVC (Teaching, Learning and Equity) Office by the internal deadline, which is usually 1 week prior to the Carrick advertised deadline. However, applications for the Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning need to be submitted to the DVC (Teaching, Learning and Equity) 5 weeks before the external deadline as these undergo a different internal review process. The 2008 Internal deadlines are announced below. The proposal or expression of interest is attached to the electronic application form as a Word or PDF document. Budgets are required for all full proposals and should comply with the recommended format.
For more information and advice on proposals or expressions of interest contact Katrina.Waite@uts.edu.au
