I was wondering if anyone has received grant funding for TIC work in higher education or is going looking for any? We are trying to find funding and would appreciate any advice or guidance from others.
Thanks for asking--good follow up. My college has an Academy for Teaching Excellence, and one of its flagship programs is the Communities of Practice. Communities of Practice are member-led (faculty, staff, admin) projects that explore some facet of teaching/learning/pedagogy. I proposed we take a sustained look at ACEs in higher education and our application was approved. We have a small budget this year (under $1500) for our initiative (a literature review/needs assessment). Next year we'll seek two internal grants (we hope to host a regional conference).
Hi Andy and Suzette - i wonder if you can share a little more details about what type of internal funding you received from your university? (where did it come from? was process competitive or was it because of a leader that 'gets' ACEs and wants to support movement in the Univ/ College?, Approx how much funding for how long ? what are deliverable?
Those details may help others (i will be taking what folks share here to different CA universities that I work with).
And another question - are folks doing stuff in their Universities/ Collegeswithout funding? If so, what? And how are you covering the costs?
Thank you!

A few years ago our school decided it was important to set up resources to allow our mostly teaching oriented faculty to have an opportunity to do research to "seed" the procurement of external funding. The project are under $10,000. My first grant was ~$7,500 and I used it on ACEs and Community Resilience. I also used it to learn from experts in Washington State. The second grant I am a partner on. I think it was approximately the same amount. In addition to that, the team that has this small funding meets every other week to do unfunded ACEs related work. We are moving toward compiling a book/training on ACEs in Higher Ed.

I'm going to echo Suzette's comment here. Our group at Harper College went through internal funding sources to secure preliminary funding for our ACEs in Higher Education group. We do plan to look externally next year, though, depending on the outcomes of our research.
I will continue to look for resources for you, but here's a link to few grant programs that look promising:
Not really, but we are working no it. My team in Chicago has "secured" what is called a mini-grant from our University. This funding is intended to seed our work and lead to a grant proposal by the end of the year. We are not at the place of looking for funds yet and I would be interested in what others learn.
