I.  Cover Sheet 

An application cover sheet is required with each submission.  Please note that, if you are proposing to purchase any software with funds from a CELT grant, you must include the name (including any version number) on the cover form.  You must also have the cover form signed by IT before you submit your grant proposal to the Provost.  You can obtain IT approval from the Chief Information Officer whose office is in the CCLIR.

II.  Project Description

Applicants will briefly describe the project they envison, with enough detail to provide a clear picture of the project but without technical or specialized description which would obscure the description's clarity.  Applicants should give special attention to the following: 

• The purpose of the project - what are the objectives?  What theoretical framework, if any, underlies the project?
• The plan of work - what is the timetable for the work?  What special tasks or processes will be involved?
• Anticipated results - if all goes as expected, what can be the expected outcome of the project, and how will it enhance teaching or learning?

III.  Statement of Support

Normally an application will not include a letter of recommendation or statement of support from a dean or department chair.  However, the Committee to Enhance Learning and Teaching reserved the right to request such a letter if the Committee believes that it would be hepful in making a decison on an application.

IV.  Budget

A brief, but specific, statement of how the grant will be spent (i.e., equipment, materials, travel, etc.).
