CALL FOR PROPOSALS: PEDAGOGICAL PARTNERSHIPS

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: PEDAGOGICAL PARTNERSHIPS

To support professional collaborations and produce cutting-edge teaching resources.

Proposals for grants up to $15,000

DEADLINE: January 5, 2021 at 12:00 midnight EDT.

The American Political Science Association seeks proposals from members for projects that will bring together political science faculty from different institutions in the same geographic area to share expertise and produce cutting-edge teaching resources. PI’s will lead the organization of a series of meetings that will bring a larger group of local faculty together, allow for the sharing of best practices and innovations, and produce new teaching materials and new ties between faculty in the area.

Materials produced through Pedagogical Partnerships will be featured in APSA’s new online teaching library, APSA Educate.

All Pedagogical Partnerships proposals must include at least one PI from a community college and one organizer from a research-intensive institution.

Pedagogical Partnership grants have four inter-related aims:

  1. To create partnerships among colleagues at different kinds of higher education institutions.
  2. To support faculty in generating cutting-edge teaching materials highlighting best practices and/or innovations, and recent political science research.
  3. To assist faculty at more research-intensive institutions in teaching and mentoring first-generation, under-represented minority, and economically disadvantaged students in ways they might not otherwise have done.
  4. To enable colleagues at more teaching-intensive institutions to teach materials that they would not otherwise have the time or inclination to teach.
