Grants & Other Funding Opportunities

The CTL offers a number of grant and other funding opportunities to support innovative, inclusive and/or research-based teaching and learning projects. Other BU units offer grants that also support teaching and learning including the Digital Learning Initiative, and Program Learning Outcomes Assessment.

BU Hub Course Enhancement Funds

The Hub Course Enhancement Fund provides funding so faculty can experiment with an innovative approach to teaching one or more of the BU Hub areas or take advantage of special opportunities for exciting general education learning experiences in BU Hub courses. All BU faculty teaching Hub classes may apply for funding. Expenses might include those associated with attending cultural events, engaging with local communities, or materials needed to incorporate more experiential, collaborative, or project-based pedagogy into a Hub course. Awards are typically capped at $500 and are approved on a rolling basis.
