The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG), administered annually by the Office of the Provost at New York University, provides internal funding to support NYU faculty in developing projects that foster innovative, evidence-based teaching strategies. The program aims to enhance student learning by encouraging the adoption of measurable, effective pedagogical practices that can be applied across diverse classroom settings at NYU and potentially adapted by other institutions. TAG projects may focus on curricular innovation, inclusive teaching, technology integration, student-centered approaches, and other strategies that demonstrably improve classroom engagement and learning outcomes.
