The Center solicits proposals in two areas:

 

Teaching: Funds are available for projects and activities contributing to the advancement of
teaching and learning. Proposed projects may enhance courses with technology, encourage
classroom engagement and interaction, promote innovative and cross-disciplinary collaboration,
and establish partnerships with outside agencies to enrich the learning experience
and/or improve professional practice experiences of Southeastern students.

Research or Scholarly/Creative Activity: Funds are available to offset certain costs associated with your research or scholarly/creative
activity such as materials, equipment, expendable supplies, and student assistance.
These funds may be used to support the development of proposals for external funding
of research.

 Including but not limited to:

• Certifications
• Licensing Renewals
• Publishing Fees
• Memberships
• Reassign Time
• Travel
• Salary Supplement

 

All purchases must be made using the Center’s P-Card.  Grant recipients must make
an appointment with the Center’s Administrative Assistant to make purchases:  [email protected] or 985-549-5791.  All monies must be encumbered by April 1 of the current fiscal year.

Please be reminded that internal grant funds are public monies; therefore, they must
be managed in accordance with State procedures.  This means (1) processing funds through
specific numbered budget categories; (2) completing the necessary purchase requisitions,
travel authorizations, etc. IN ADVANCE of any expenditure; and (3) following requirements
to use specific vendors (University Bookstore, state contractors, etc.).  Remember
that all materials and/or equipment purchased with these monies are the property of
Southeastern Louisiana University.

1. Submit to the Center a brief written report within one year after the funded activity.
   The report should describe the impact of the activity/experience. The purpose of this
   report is to validate the effectiveness of the grant program and to build documentation
   in support of continued funding for the program. Faculty who do not submit annual
   reports will not be eligible for future Center grants.
2. Participate in the Center’s Faculty Conference on Teaching, Research & Creativity, which is held each fall.  The conference is designed to highlight the projects and
   disseminate the results to other Southeastern faculty.  If you are unable to participate,
   you may elect to participate the following fall semester.  Faculty are not eligible
   to receive another Enhancement Grant until this requirement is met.
