Faculty Development Initiative Program
FDIP 2009
Deadline for Submission has been extended until February 6, 2009
Online Submission (Please follow links found on right side of this page)
The Faculty Development Initiative Program (FDIP) is a program
offered through Academic Affairs to give faculty an opportunity to receive support for curricular
innovations using technology. Each year Academic Affairs provides approximately $350,000 to
$450,000 to fund grants to individual instructors who are engaged in innovative teaching with
technology. FDIP awards are based on proposals submitted by either an individual for an FDIP A
Grant (up to $4000) or to a team for an FDIP B grant (up to $25,000). Funding may be used for
course development, salaries for graduate assistants and support staff, instructional equipment,
hardware and/or software, or to acquire other necessary academic technology materials to
complete the project. Instructional Design resources are also available for faculty as they
develop and implement their projects.
All submissions undergo a thorough review process by a faculty committee composed of former FDIP award holders. Submissions are never reviewed by a member who resides in the same college as the submitter. The recommendations are given to the Executive Associate V.P. of Academic Affairs for final approval.
