Receiving a grant is an important opportunity to think in-depth about a common element of our teaching practice. It’s something we teach regularly but often we don’t talk about how and why we teach it.

Internal peer review
Applicants are encouraged to submit their draft applications early in order to be eligible for internal peer review (IPR).
Applications submitted for this process will be delegated to a colleague experienced with Teaching and Learning Grant applications and adjudications to provide suggestions for revisions before the final submission deadline.
Please note that making revisions as suggested does not guarantee success of the application in the adjudication process; rather the IPR process is offered as an opportunity for semi-formal feedback only.
Internal Peer Review Submission Deadline:
November 20, 2020
Internal Peer Review Feedback Returned:
December 20, 2020
Submissions for Internal Peer Review are accepted through the Teaching and Learning Grants program's Open Journal Systems site.
If you do not have an OJS account you will need to register for one.
