LIVE Teaching Development Fund
Category: Current
The aim of the LIVE Teaching Development Fund is to encourage and reward excellence in teaching, particularly via the introduction and development of best practice to promote student learning.
This is achieved by each year awarding funding to RVC staff to undertake small-scale (up to two years) educational development and/or educational research projects, based around their own teaching responsibilities.
Each year there is one team prize on offer, up to the value of £10,000, to fund the purchase of both equipment and non-academic staff time.
The call for proposals goes out in April/May each year and the submissions are reviewed by a panel comprising: the Principal; the Senior Vice-Principal; the Vice-Principal for Learning, Teaching and Assessment; the Chair of the Teaching Quality Committee; a previous prize winner; a representative of the LIVE Centre; and the President of the Students' Union Society. Prize winners are notified of their success in late June, with a two year project completion time frame.
Applications should follow the Rules and Regulations set out below, and should be sent to Sonal Shah via sshah@rvc.ac.uk.
