Data Nexus Faculty Grants

Data Nexus Faculty Grants

Data Nexus grants support small-scale data-initiatives designed to enhance student engagement and learning or professional development opportunities to advance your own teaching practice. Grants can be used for:

• course-related student engagement, and can be used to fund materials or experiences for data-intensive engaged learning, or
• individual, group, or departmental professional development for data-intensive pedagogy (NB: group or departmental professional development might include funding for a reading group, online workshop)

Small grants of up to $1000 support start-up and one-time expenses (materials, stipends, workshops, and so on), but do not cover ongoing operational costs. The Data Nexus Director is also willing to consult with you about other sources of possible funding for ongoing projects.

The proposed project should also align with one of the Data Nexus current goals.

• Campus-wide data competency
• Campus-wise computer and technology literacy
• Advanced data competency

Applicants will be asked to address how their project will address at least one of these in an impactful way to the larger Elon community.

Application: Grant Application. (Note that recipients of Data Nexus grants are limited to one per fiscal year.)
