Ten $4,000 Information Fluency Development Grants are available for institutions that have participated in one of the workshops offered in 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2013.
The purpose of the grants is to amplify and advance the work that began when your institution’s workshop team created an action plan while at the workshop and is now being successfully implemented on campus. Institutions are eligible to request a grant for use over a six- month period to support the continuation and deepening of this work.
Funds can be used to support faculty and library staff time; disseminate results of successes and best practices through publications or participation in scholarly conferences; travel to other campuses to gather and share knowledge and practices; and other related purposes.
(Please note that if the plan your team developed during and after the workshop did not succeed in most of its objectives you should not apply for an information fluency development grant.) In February 2018, the selected institutions will be expected to provide CIC a brief written report that describes progress made on the attainment of project goals and the uses of funds.
The application deadline was
Monday, July 24, 2017. Institutions selected for the awards will be announced by August 18, 2017.
