Description
The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG), administered by the NYU Office of the Provost and Center for Teaching and Learning, is designed to support faculty-led projects that foster student learning and advance innovative, evidence-based teaching practices. The grant encourages development and implementation of classroom strategies with measurable impact, aiming to improve student outcomes and create scalable models that can be adopted within NYU and at other institutions.

TAG also provides extensive support to grantees, including workshops, consultations, and opportunities for dissemination.
