Curriculum Integration Grant
The Academic Issues Subcommittee offers summer grants  for projects to integrate the experiences and perspectives of women into the curriculum. Three grants, $1800 each,  are available and will be awarded in spring and intended for use in the summer of that year. Tenured or tenure-track faculty members who wish to pursue one of the following projects are eligible:

• revision of a course
• revision of a general education course for Study Abroad program
• creation of a new course
• re-conceptualization of a current minor
• creation of a new minor

Applicants should send seven (7) completed grant proposals (original and six copies) to Samantha Cantrell, Research and Sponsored Programs, PO Box 124. Proposals will be reviewed by an awards committee composed of faculty serving on the Academic Issues Subcommittee of the President's Commission on the Status of Women. The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, February 1, 2008.

Grant proposals should include the following: (1) completed grant application form; (2) brief description of project; (3) statement of goals and objectives; (4) a timeline for completion and implementation of the project (for instance, those proposing a new course should indicate when the course would be offered to students; similarly, those proposing the creation of a minor should indicate when that minor will be available to students); (5) a tentative bibliography including materials on the theories and methods of curriculum integration; and (6) a curriculum vitae. Also, faculty members who wish to revise courses or minors should state how their course/minor will change as a result of the revisions. Proposals often incorporate innovative teaching techniques and integrate women's concerns with issues of race/ethnicity, class and sexual orientation. Priority will be given to projects that can be implemented within two years.

Grant recipients will be required to present the completed project at the Fall Commission meeting to be held at the beginning of each Fall semester. Recipients also will be required to provide the committee with a copy of the finished syllabus, course proposal, minor proposal, or revised minor at the Fall meeting.

Grant inquiries should be directed to Samantha Cantrell at 494-8751 (scantrel@mtsu.edu).
