New participants are encouraged to apply.

Bring New Ideas to Life with a Curriculum Innovation Grant
The Curriculum Innovation Grant supports faculty who want to either propose to create new courses or to update their existing courses to better prepare students for landing internships and jobs in the field.
*Please note a new update: For the curriculum innovation grant, faculty will use the same link for the faculty career fellowship to apply for the grant, rather than emailing Rob: Faculty Career Fellowship // Curriculum Innovation Grant 2026 – 2027 Application – Fill out form.
