As experience has demonstrated, funding for using information technology in instruction and research requires a combination of internal and external resources. To help faculty access these resources, UIT Academic Technology offers staff assistance through the following programs:
internal grants program
external grants program
Grant Consultations
To assist faculty through the maze of federal agency and corporate and foundation grants available for innovative educational projects using technology, UIT Academic Technology provides consultation on appropriate sources of external funding for IT projects and help with grant applications.
A Partnership in Technology (APT) Grants
UIT Academic Technology's main internal grants program, A Partnership in Technology (APT), provides up to 600 hours of AT staff time for a year to support faculty projects experimenting with the use of instructional technology for teaching, learning and research.
Software Grants
UIT Academic Technology's Software Grant program provides limited, matching funds for the acquisition of software in support of research or instruction. The purpose of this program is to facilitate access to specialized software solutions not currently available through existing software licensing programs. Software grant proposals will be supported to a maximum of $1000 unless special circumstances require increased support.
