Description
The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG) is an annual internal funding opportunity from New York University's Office of the Provost and Center for Teaching and Learning. The grant is designed to support faculty-led projects that develop and assess innovative, evidence-based teaching practices with measurable impact on student learning. Projects may involve new or existing courses, curricular redesign, technology integration, inclusive pedagogy, or interdisciplinary approaches. TAG aims to foster a culture of pedagogical innovation at NYU and disseminate successful strategies across the university and beyond.
TAG provides not only funding, but also partnership and consultation opportunities with the Center for Teaching and Learning throughout the grant cycle, as well as support for dissemination of project outcomes.
