Learning and teaching grants provide opportunities for UNSW staff to undertake collaborative research and development projects that are focused on current institutional priorities, as well as issues of importance in learning and teaching in higher education.

These grants support a wide range of activities, for example:

  • innovations in learning and teaching
  • development of resources and frameworks for practice
  • building leadership capacity, and
  • advancing the scholarship in teaching and learning.

Grant application and management

Key elements of a successful grant include how outcomes are disseminated, promoted and supported. Outcomes may include resources and processes for facilitating strategic change of the individual educator to broadly across the higher education sector.

For advice, information and resources on developing a strong grant or funding application see our grant application and management page.
