Evaluation Criteria
Applications for a Research-Intensive Course Grant will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Merit and impact of the proposed course revisions. Courses can demonstrate an impact in different ways. A large class may have a smaller research component yet reach a large number of students, whereas a smaller course may be able to provide a more in-depth research experience. We encourage applications from all types of courses.
- Degree to which students would be challenged beyond normal research requirements for students at that level or in that major.
- Feasibility and sustainability of the proposed course revisions.
Priority will be given to applicants who have not received a Research-Intensive Course Grant in the past.
