TBLC Call for Research Grant Proposals

TBL Research Grants

Call for Proposals 

PURPOSE

The TBLC supports and encourages research and scholarship in team-based learning. To help its members participate in opportunities that provide educational scholarship, the TBLC will provide funding to initiate new educational research or evaluation proposals in 2015-2016. Project budgets of $2,000- $5,000 may be requested, with single institution projects to be awarded at low end, and collaborative multi-institution projects at the high end. Two to four awards are anticipated, depending on the quantity and quality of proposed projects. The TBLC seeks to promote collaborative projects across institutions, and seeks to stimulate the development of a community of educational scholars. Project proposals must be consistent with published criteria for educational scholarship and provide additional opportunities for others to build upon this work.

TBLC members from all TBLC member institutions are eligible to submit a proposal. Applicants may submit only one proposal.
