Chancellor's Innovation Scholars Program: Call for Proposals

In 2016, Chancellor Everts established the Chancellor's Innovation Scholars Program to encourage faculty and staff to encourage and support research and practice related to the innovation of Higher Education. To date, this program has funded twentyfive projects at $10,000 each.

 

Applications are now open to fund projects for the 2022-23 academic year. Appalachian faculty and staff from all disciplines and program areas are eligible for support.

 

The program supports teams of faculty and staff thought leaders who are working creatively and entrepreneurially to:

  • Address challenges facing higher education
  • Create lasting institutional change
  • Provide community and societal benefits
  • Establish opportunities that increase student engagement
  • Promote broad-based sustainability

 

These internal grants are intended to provide maximum flexibility in funding to support a variety of faculty and staff concepts and approaches. Funding may be applied specifically to support expenses associated with each unique project.  All projects must engage Appalachian State students.

 

Applications, which include a narrative of the project and detailed budget with justification, are due by February 21, 2022 and will be reviewed by a panel of faculty and staff.

 

Recommendations for support are provided to Academic Affairs and the Office of the Chancellor. Scholars will be notified of selection by March 18, 2022.

 

More details about the program and the application process can be found at https://www.appstate.edu/innovation-scholars/. Questions can be directed to either Mark Ginn (ginnmc@appstate.edu) or Ece Karatan (karatane@appstate.edu).
