The Learning Grants program has been a significant source of support for faculty projects for the past two years. During the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 years, eighty-three proposals were funded for a total of $352,162. Faculty from nine of the ten Maricopa colleges have received grants. The most recent awards are listed below.
The third-year cycle for applications will be February 4, 2002, through March 22, 2002. The grants will be awarded effective July 1, 2002, for the year 2002-2003. For the first time, the entire process, from application to final report, will be online. Changing from a paper intensive to a paperless process will make the reviewing and awarding of grants more efficient. The information and forms will be readily accessible to all residential and adjunct faculty and administrators. Applicants will also be able to track online the status of their application from its initial acceptance to its final approval and award. The new process will be available on the Learning Grants website for preview in January.
