Eligible projects can receive up to $50,000 or $100,000 in one-time funding, depending on the focus area. Online applications open December 1, with final proposals due no later than 3pm on February 6, 2020. Interested applicants are encouraged to attend one of two upcoming information sessions scheduled for December 10 and January 14, or one of a number of consultation sessions organized by the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology.
