Description
The Davis Educational Foundation's Implementation Grants are designed to support innovative projects that enhance undergraduate teaching and learning or help institutions manage and control costs. Grants are available to both public and private, not-for-profit, regionally accredited baccalaureate degree-granting institutions in the six New England states. Projects may focus on curriculum, assessment, faculty development, administrative structures, or collaborative cost-saving initiatives. The foundation particularly values proposals that demonstrate strong institutional commitment and have the potential for significant and sustainable impact on undergraduate education.
