The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG), administered by New York University's Office of the Provost and Center for Teaching and Learning, is an annual internal grant supporting faculty-led projects that enhance student learning and foster innovative teaching practices across NYU. The grant encourages the development and implementation of measurable, evidence-based strategies to improve classroom environments, with an emphasis on inclusivity, student-centered approaches, and purposeful use of technology. Projects may focus on new or existing courses, curricular innovations, or broader pedagogical initiatives, and are expected to have an impact within NYU with potential for influence beyond the university.
