Grants and Awards

For Faculty

Improvement of Instruction Grants
The Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies and its Center for Teaching Excellence request proposals each academic year for Improvement of Instruction Grants. These grants are available to individual faculty members, as well as groups, that wish to pursue projects to improve instruction in undergraduate education on campus. The most recent abstracts from Instructional Improvement grant recipients are available.

Departmental Excellence Award
Sponsored by the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate, the Award for Departmental Excellence and Innovation in Teaching is a project of the CTE-Lilly Teaching Fellows. The award seeks to recognize notable improvements in undergraduate education at the department, program, or university level. Click here for the recipient from 1995-2009.

Merrill Presidential Scholars Program
CTE is proud to announce that our very successful annual "Celebrating Teachers" awards program has become part of the Merrill Presidential Scholars Program.


For Teaching Assistants

Lilly East Conference Grants
The Lilly Conferences combine interactive workshop sessions, discussions, and feature presentations, with opportunities for informal discussion about excellence in college and university teaching and learning. They bring together faculty and graduate students from across disciplines and types of academic institutions. CTE staff, along with University of Maryland faculty and graduate teaching assistants, have attended this conference for a number of years. It is an outstanding opportunity to meet others from the Mid-Atlantic interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning and to discuss effective strategies for undergraduate education.
CTE offers conference grants for graduate students For further information on the conference, visit http://www.udel.edu/lillyeast/. For further information on CTE’s Lilly-East Conference Grants, contact the Graduate Coordinator at x 4-1283.

Distinguished TA Award
At the end of each academic year, the graduate teaching assistants from campus, who have been named as the most outstanding by their departments, are recognized and honored. These awards are sponsored by the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Dean for Undergraduate Studies, and the Dean of the Graduate School. Deadline for nominations: mid-March.
