2023 IITG Request for Proposals
The 2023 Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Innovative Instruction Technology Grants (IITG) program has just been announced. These competitive, peer-reviewed awards aim to demonstrate, communicate and replicate innovations developed at campuses across SUNY.
SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant (IITG) Program
IITG promotes research and fosters understanding of how new technologies support academic excellence and student success. IITG funds encourage SUNY faculty and staff to extend beyond departmental and campus boundaries to pilot, share and “scale up” innovations that transform and impact teaching and learning practices.
The 2023 RFP is posted on the IITG website along with submission instructions and a listing of past funded projects and posted outcomes.
The IITG program seeks to promote innovation and research and also foster an understanding of how new technologies serve pedagogy. Funding may be requested to:
Align with the charges of the recent FACT2 task groups - “Leveraging the DLE” and “Inclusive Pedagogy”:
- Address diversity, equity, inclusion, and/or social justice.
- Support modular courses or pathways that are highly transferable, relevant for workforce development, and “stackable” into micro-credentials, certificates or degrees.
- Build competencies and support post traditional and adult learners – particularly those seeking to reinvent their academic or career trajectory.
- Improve student learning, student success, and program completion.
The response deadline for the RFP is February 17, 2023. Proposals may be submitted via SUNY’s online grant management website. Applicants will need to create an account to submit a proposal. Each proposal requires a brief project description, a project budget and justification, and an assessment plan. Multiple proposals from each campus are welcome; proposals featuring multi-campus collaborations are strongly encouraged.
There will be an informational webinar on January 17 from 12pm-1pm that will be recorded for those who can’t make it. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Price, administrator of the IITG program at iitgrants@suny.edu for additional information or with any questions. Your campus SUNY FACT2 representative can also assist with further questions or refer you to resources related to the IITG program priorities.
Additional communication will be forthcoming via the IITG website, and SUNY and FACT2 listservs. Please share this announcement broadly with your colleagues.
