2012 grant guidelines

Grants are intended to enable academic or support staff or teams to engage in innovation, or adaptation of existing innovations, to improve students' graduate attribute development and/or university experience in a specific context such as a subject, series of subjects or program. Projects must go beyond the routine updating of curriculum, resources or support services. Projects may include research or investigative components, but must also have direct impacts on students' experiences.

For all queries regarding the VC's Learning and Teaching Grants, please contact marilyn.harris@uts.edu.au
