Eu centers proposal submission guidelines

EU CENTERS 2011-14

Proposal Narrative Form

4.A.5. Activities: Curriculum Development. Indicate all faculty curriculum development grants or other curricular activities to be implemented during each academic year for the entire 2011-14 grant period. Describe likely course or program themes and the likely number of students impacted. Any faculty grants in this category must be made by competitive process and none can be awarded to EU Center staff (see section III of the Call for Proposals). Please also specify how these activities will further the program policy objectives and produce the related outcomes set out in section II of the Call for Proposals, and provide measurable criteria for evaluating their implementation. Attach additional page(s) if necessary.
All curriculum development grants for teaching at UT will be made available through a competitive process open to all UT Faculty. The Center staff, Director, and members of the Executive Board will not be allowed to participate.
We will evaluate the implementation of the program through feedback from the faculty member receiving the grant, a voluntary survey completed by the students enrolled in the developed courses, and a quantitative measure of the interest in the course in comparison to other courses at UT. All courses are regularly evaluated at UT, but, additionally, our external evaluator, CTL, will oversee the measurement and evaluation process to help determine the efficacy of these new courses implemented and how we can improve upon them through continuous monitoring and adaptation.
