Please remember that this is an innovation grant, not a research grant, even though a research component to a project is highly valued. In the past, we’ve received proposals that were clearly written as research proposals only, and while those research proposals would have led to important scholarly contributions, that is not what the fund is for. The fund is for ‘creating’ something innovative that enhances the teaching capabilities of the University.

However, if you do intent to conduct research on your innovation, please remember to check with Research Services for ethics guidance if you are including a research component in your project proposal.
