Eligibility: All core lecturers and tenured or tenure-track faculty at Columbia University and Barnard College
Amount of Award: $3,000
Deadline: May 6, 2016
The Columbia University Center for Science and Society invites proposals for the development of new undergraduate curricular offerings in the study of science and society. The aim is to introduce courses that can be offered within current disciplinary structures, as part of already-existing majors and concentrations, but that bring significant discussion of science and society into these offerings. The Center for Science and Society lists information about the previously funded courses on its website.
This competition is open to Core Lecturers and tenured or tenure-track faculty at Columbia University (including Barnard) in any discipline. Successful applicants will receive a $3,000 research allowance to be used for the development and teaching of the course over the following two years. If the course is to be co-taught, the instructors will split the award. Tenured faculty must use the entire award to support research for the course (e.g. book purchases or photocopying) and to hire a student to provide research and/or teaching assistance. Awardees will commit to teaching the course within two years of the start of the grant.
To Apply: All materials must be submitted to Deborah Coen ([email protected]), Director of Research Clusters and Curriculum, The Center for Science and Society, by May 6, 2016. Proposals will be judged by a multi-disciplinary panel drawn from the steering committee of the Center for Science and Society.
All faculty considering applying for the seed grants should download the Call for Proposals and the Application Form from our website.
