Are you interested in learning about teaching and learning funding opportunities available to U of T faculty and staff? If so, you are invited to participate in a 90-minute online workshop that provides a general overview of the three major institutional teaching and learning grants:

• Learning and Education Advancement Fund (LEAF)
• Instructional Technology Innovation Fund (ITIF)
• Graduate Education Innovation Fund (GEIF)

We will describe the opportunities available through these funds and explore effective practices regarding proposal writing for funding opportunities that seek to enrich, catalyze and directly impact University of Toronto teaching and learning. We will discuss general strategies and suggestions for successful grant applications and address the main criteria that these proposals should address.

By the end of this session you will have:

• Gained an understanding of available funding avenues at U of T that support teaching and learning projects and the application processes
• Gained knowledge of the essential elements and key principles guiding effective proposal writing
• Explored grant ideas with U of T colleagues
• Identified key resources to consult for your proposal writing
