Description
The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG) at New York University is an annual internal funding opportunity designed to support faculty in developing and implementing projects that improve student learning and foster innovative, evidence-based teaching practices. Administered by the Office of the Provost and the NYU Center for Teaching and Learning, TAG aims to amplify teaching innovations that demonstrate measurable impacts on student outcomes, with potential for broader application both within and beyond NYU. Projects are encouraged to be inclusive, student-centered, and data-informed, and may utilize purposeful technology, high-impact teaching practices, or cross-disciplinary approaches. TAG also provides workshops, consultations, and dissemination opportunities to support faculty throughout the grant cycle.
