FIPSE Grants

FIPSE grants may provide one, two, or three years of funding.  Grants usually range from $15,000 to $150,000 per year, with an average of about $80,000 per year. The Agenda for Improvement highlights some of the important issues accompanying this challenge, and we specifically encourage proposals that address these issues.

  • The Importance of Innovation FIPSE grants are intended to provide the seed capital for experiments in educational reform, and the knowledge gained through those experiments should be intended to benefit postsecondary students throughout the country.
  • Access, Retention, and Completion FIPSE therefore solicits proposals that recognize this need, and that pay particular attention to groups that historically have not had equal access to postsecondary education. FIPSE is eager to help support and disseminate imaginative access and retention strategies for these students, including projects at institutions that have long experience in serving underrepresented students, and projects to develop in faculty a special understanding of the challenges these students face.
  • Improving Campus Climates for Learning FIPSE also welcomes proposals to improve campus climates for learning by creating an environment that is safe, welcoming, and conductive to academic growth for all students.
  • Curricular and Pedagogical Reform FIPSE will continue to support innovative reforms to undergraduate, graduate, and professional curricula. We seek applicants proposing lasting transformations not only of what students learn but of how they learn. Proposed model programs should include a rigorous assessment of impact on student learning. And they must be cost-effective and sustainable, for both the applicant institution and for other seeking similar solutions.
  • Making More Productive Use of Resources to Improve Teaching and Learning - As we approach the new millennium, postsecondary education is being challenged to reexamine its traditional methods of operation in order to achieve necessary cost-efficiencies while maintaining and improving quality. FIPSE encourages proposals to redesign courses, programs, departments, institutions, and systems to refocus critical resources on teaching and learning and make those resources pay increased dividends in student learning.
  • Faculty Development FIPSE seeks to support the professional development of full- and part-time faculty by assessing and rewarding effective teaching; promoting new and more effective teaching methods; and improving the preparation of graduate students who will be future faculty members.
  • Dissemination of Successful Innovation Recognizing that many innovative programs have already been locally developed, implemented, and evaluated, FIPSE invites proposals to disseminate these innovations to other institutions.
