The Office of the Vice Chancellor is soliciting proposals to support larger-scale ambitious projects designed to strengthen MIT undergraduate education and enrich the academic experience of our undergraduates. Proposals can be focused at any level of undergraduate education; priority will be given to projects that:

• Enhance the first-year academic experience, especially innovating in the General Institute Requirements (GIRs).
• Integrate inclusive pedagogies or develop creative subject material to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Catalyze long-term, sustainable education improvements inspired by good practices developed in response to the pandemic and remote teaching.

Projects that advance relevant recommendations made by the Task Force 2021 and Beyond and/or transcend specific departmental curricula are encouraged.

Necessary forms, instructions, and descriptions of previously funded projects can be found on the Fund website. If you have questions about applying for a grant, please contact the Registrar’s Office, Curriculum and Faculty Support at darbeloff-fund@mit.edu.

Proposals are due by Friday, October 29, 2021.
