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. It is designed to support faculty-driven projects that measurably improve student learning and promote innovative, evidence-based teaching practices across NYU. Projects should develop classroom strategies, tools, or resources that can be adopted in diverse educational contexts and potentially serve as models for other institutions. TAG emphasizes student-centered, inclusive, and data-informed pedagogies, with a focus on high-impact practices, purposeful use of technology, and the amplification of student voices and experiences.
