Grant program for course and module development

NOTE: The IHETS appropriation for the 2005-07 biennium was reduced by 12 percent in the first year and an additional 20 percent in the second year. In addition, the final version of the 2005-07 state budget included language that explicitly prohibited use of the IHETS appropriation to support the course and module development program. Therefore, we were unable to offer the grant program after the 2004-05 fiscal year.

As an initiative of the Indiana Partnership for Statewide Education (IPSE), IHETS administered a faculty grant program to support development of educational content delivered via technology. A primary goal of this program was increasing the quantity and breadth of online educational opportunities available to Indiana citizens. Grants were awarded in an open competition among proposals submitted by individual (or teams of) faculty employed by IHETS member institutions in response to an annual request for proposals (RFP). The total annual program allocation was $250,000 with individual development grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000.
