The Teaching Advancement Grant (TAG), offered annually by New York University's Office of the Provost and Center for Teaching and Learning, funds faculty-led projects that aim to improve student learning and foster innovative teaching practices. The grant supports the development, implementation, and dissemination of measurable, evidence-based strategies that can enhance classroom impact at NYU and potentially serve as models for other institutions. TAG prioritizes projects that focus on inclusive, data-informed, and student-centered teaching, including high-impact practices, technology integration, and approaches that foster belonging and engagement. Awardees benefit from workshops, consultations, and ongoing support throughout the 18-month grant cycle.
