University of Michigan faculty of all disciplines and ranks are invited to propose courses that feature UMS’s 2018-2019 programs in their instructional design for our new Course Development Grant program, which supports our goal of more broadly integrating the arts and arts-based learning strategies across the University curriculum.

Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, UMS will fund 5-8 courses per semester. Faculty fellows will receive $1,000 in salary supplement and $500 in course development funds.

Please fill out the following form to indicate your interest in applying for the grant. We will then email you a confidential season planning document and the link to the full application. The application deadline for priority consideration for 2018/2019 is April 8; applicants will be notified of their application status by April 22. This is a competitive process and we encourage faculty to apply by the priority deadline. We will continue to accept and review additional applications on a rolling basis for Fall 2018 courses through August 1, and for Winter 2019 courses until September 20.
