The goal of this program is to ease the implementation of small-scale, immediate enhancements that improve the learning experience of students at the course-level.
The amount requested may range up to $1,500. Grant applications are reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis, as funds permit. Projects are generally expected to be completed within the semester to one academic year of the award.

If you would like a preliminary reading of your application or assistance in developing your proposal, contact the Center at cornellcti@cornell. edu to schedule an appointment. A brief summary is requested at the project's conclusion.
This might be a concise written report, multimedia presentation, or poster. It should indicate how the work has impacted teaching and learning, and how others may benefit from and advance the work. Projects awarded funding will be posted publicly on CTI’s website and may be presented to the Cornell community at CTI events.
