Departmental grants available for Employability projects

The call for bids in the Higher Education Academy’s second phase of teaching development grants has opened today.

Over the next year the HEA is making £1.5 million of funding available for teaching development grants.  The funding will stimulate evidence-based research and encourage innovations in learning and teaching that have the potential for sector-wide impact.

The second phase of the scheme, is aimed at higher education institution departments, with a total of £300,000 being made available up to a maximum of £30,000 per project. Bids are invited on the themes of Employability and/or Internationalisation. Successful bids will demonstrate team impact across the department.

The closing date for departmental bids is 23 October 2011, with successful projects expected to begin on 23 January 2012.
