- TRESTLE mini seed grants ($1,000, deadline rolling)
Mini-grants are intended to support the mission of increasing the use of evidence-based teaching practices in STEM departments. Awards are up to $1000, with an average of 2 awards available per semester. - TRESTLE “Type II” course transformation awards ($10,000, deadline Oct. 1)
Intended for faculty with existing expertise in course transformation, these Type II grants support course development or renovation work, including assessment, active-learning, and other evidence-based practice. We are especially interested in projects with potential to engage faculty across the department. - Educational advisors.
