The Discipline Research Project is a 2-year multi-campus discipline-based community, whereby systemwide teams of 6-8 common-disciplinary faculty focus on critical teaching and learning issues as an applied-research project. Teams receive funds in order to support their collaboration and experimentation on individual and team research questions.
All project faculty are required to attend a 2-day workshop to be held March 27-28, 2009, at LAX, in order to (a) revise a course and (b) design a research project to assess the impact of this course revision.
Teams will communicate throughout the duration of this 2-year project, refine their classroom teaching-learning strategies, and disseminate results through manuscript-writing and presentations, followed by grant-writing as appropriate.
Through ITL, the Chancellor's Office will provide professional stipends to each team (approx. $6,000-7,000 for Year 1; $4,500-5,500 for Year 2) in order to assist team members in fulfilling the stated outcomes in their proposal.
Interested faculty are encouraged to register on the Colleague Connector at http://www.calstate.edu/itl/connect and use its information to form a system-wide team of 6-8 common-disciplinary faculty who will actively participate in the project for 2 years, January 2009 through January 2011.

The ELIXR program has released the Fall 2008 Request for Proposals to CSU institutions and individuals interested in promoting an exemplary teaching practice through a set of digital case stories. Funded in part through a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, in our first year (07-08), university teams from across the nation were asked to create individual digital case stories around a range of themes that affect teaching and learning.
As of October 2008, ELIXR theme modules and case studies include:
Grants are available in the amount of $5,000 to $7,500 for the creation of new theme modules. Proposals are due December 5. To learn more, participate in an upcoming webinar - November 4 or 14 from 1-2 pm (PST).
