We’ll also post the leaderboard in D2L again, as well as on the CTL website. Here’s the lowdown on this year’s program: Time period: the 2022-2023 academic year Points required to complete the incentive program: 12 Stipend for completion: $1,000 Points awarded per eligible event: 1 (except initial HyFlex training, which is worth 2 points) Programs that qualify for points: all programming hosted by the CTL (programming announcements will include the points available for that specific event)

Grants and Sponsored Programs

What better way to develop yourself and your program than with some grant money? The Grants and Sponsored Programs (GSP) Office works in partnership with the University and community to identify and pursue funding to address the identified needs and initiatives of the University. Their office also functions as the Office of Research Compliance, which manages IRB and IBC requests. You'll need your NetID and password to log into the linked Intranet page, and it's well worth it!
