September 20, 2024Apply for the Inclusive History Project AY25-26 Teaching Fund
Applications are due October 30
As part of its mission to produce an inclusive and wide-ranging history of the University of Michigan, the Inclusive History Project (IHP) funds compelling, innovative undergraduate and graduate teaching that advances both the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the university’s past with regard to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Funding is designed to support the efforts of instructional faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students in classrooms across our campuses to study and better understand the shifting boundaries of diversity, equity, and inclusion in relation to U-M’s 200+ year history. Courses supported by the IHP play a crucial role in expanding the scope and range of the research accomplished through the project and enabling a broader and deeper scale of participation in its work.
Funding takes two forms.
Course Development Grants
Up to $5K are available to fund the design and implementation of new courses that explore the university’s history in relation to diversity, equity, and inclusion across a wide range of contexts and topics.
Course Redesign Grants
Up to $3K are available to support the redesign of existing courses to integrate a significant focus on the university’s history into the content and pedagogical aims of the course through the development and implementation of new course components. Grants may also support the substantive updating of an existing course focused on U-M’s history.
Proposals from all disciplines and on a wide range of topics about the university’s history as related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are welcome. For each funding cycle, the slate of proposals selected will reflect a range of topics and disciplines and will embed teaching related to the IHP across the three campuses.
Proposed courses in this funding cycle should first be offered in the Fall 2025 or Winter 2026 terms, unless a curriculum review process will extend the timeline for offering a course past the Winter 2026 term. A small number of grants for courses taught in Winter 2025 are also available.
Proposals are accepted from individual instructional faculty members, including tenure track faculty, clinical faculty, and lecturers, on the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses, as well as from collaborative teams.
Applications are due Wednesday, October 30.
