Division grants are typically used to fund collaborative projects which have a direct impact on instruction. Faculty members are encouraged to develop cross-disciplinary projects   with individuals, including part-time faculty, in other departments, divisions, and U.S. Conn Library. Funds may not be used to purchase instructional materials that are typically funded by division budgets. No funds will be awarded on a multi-year basis. Faculty having multi-year projects should reapply on an annual basis.
