Call for Proposals |
||
ACM is currently requesting proposals in two broad areas of collaboration: |
||
|
New Research Collaborations FaCE II identifies four areas for collaborative research. These grants will be focused especially on promoting collaboration across campuses and disciplines. A. Innovative faculty/student research collaborations that have the potential to demonstrate the effectiveness of new approaches. B. Research projects by several faculty that include either collaboration across colleges or collaboration across disciplines, and have potential for continuation after grant. C. Research collaborations that facilitate innovative on- or off-campus courses or programs with a multi-cultural or international focus that have the potential to become new models for the ACM. D. Projects addressing the scholarship of teaching and learning at residential liberal arts colleges that have the potential for allowing liberal arts colleges to create more effective and substantial learning for their students. Awards Typically, awards will range up to $3,000 each; it is possible that outstanding proposals to develop international courses or programs (Area C) could be funded at a higher level. Funding will be available for those resources necessary to conduct the research, such as supplies, travel, necessary accommodation for students during summer collaborations, etc. Funding cannot be provided for student or faculty stipends or institutional overhead.

Collaborative Events FaCE II identifies three types of collaborative events. Like the New Research Collaborations, these grants will be focused especially on promoting collaboration across campuses and disciplines. Collaborative Events can be used for the following activities. A. To support collaboration by gathering faculty from multiple campuses (with students, when appropriate) to discuss substantive research topics. B. To foster best practices in teaching by gathering faculty to explore approaches to advising, pedagogy, use of technology in learning, evaluation of teaching, and addressing the needs of this generation of students. C. To increase internationalization by enabling faculty engaged in international and multicultural studies to network, share ideas and explore means to collaborate across campuses. Awards Awards will be variable, depending on the scope of the event, but will generally range from $1,000-$6,000. Connecting Collaborative Event activities with New Research Collaborations so as to sustain and build upon the activity will be encouraged. The ACM staff will coordinate arrangements and work with faculty leaders to organize workshops and conferences. Funding can cover honoraria for guest speakers, workshop leaders, or consultants (but not ACM campus participants); conference materials; and travel and accommodations (but not meals unless in working sessions).

Deadlines Proposals for New Research Collaborations and Collaborative Events will be reviewed twice each year and will be due in the ACM Office on March 15 and November 15. Each campus will set its own internal deadlines for review and nomination prior to the Committee's meeting; consult your FaCE Liaison for details. |
Dissemination FaCE Phase II seeks to promote collaboration and also track and publicize the significant results and products from each activity funded by this grant. Thus, all Phase II proposals will also address issues of dissemination and impact, outlining methods for sharing the work of the collaboration with wider audiences. Proposals should outline how the collaboration might result in best practices or innovations that can be adopted within the consortium and beyond. As this work accumulates, additional project goals will be to develop systematic means of displaying and publishing collaborative work through websites, online journals, or other forms of repositories or archives to sustain this work through careful assessment. Further information about these goals -- and additional Requests for Proposals -- will be forthcoming next year. |

For more information Faculty who plan to submit a proposal should contact their FaCE Liaison on campus or ACM Vice President John Ottenhoff (312-263-5000), to discuss the project's goals and details of the proposed overall budget and logistics, to test out the ideas, and receive helpful advice.
