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 funding opportunity designed to empower NYU faculty to develop and implement projects that measurably improve student learning. TAG particularly encourages creative, evidence-based, and inclusive teaching strategies that can be adapted across various academic contexts at NYU and beyond. Projects should demonstrate potential for significant educational impact and foster student-centered, data-informed, and innovative pedagogical practices.
