Description
The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG) is an annual internal funding opportunity offered by New York University's Office of the Provost and Center for Teaching and Learning. TAG empowers NYU faculty to design and implement projects that improve student learning and foster innovative, evidence-based teaching practices. The grant supports a wide range of pedagogical initiatives, from new course development and curricular redesign to the integration of technology and inclusive practices. Projects are expected to develop and disseminate measurable strategies for enhancing student outcomes and may have impact within NYU and beyond.
The 2026 cycle prioritizes proposals that:
- Promote high-impact educational practices (e.g., undergraduate research, collaborative and peer learning)
- Use data and student experiences to inform practical teaching improvements
- Champion student-centered, inclusive, and equity-focused approaches
- Purposefully integrate technology to enhance engagement and learning
Awardees benefit from workshops, consultations, and ongoing support from the Center for Teaching and Learning, including opportunities for dissemination and networking.
