FDIC Partnership Grants are an annual funding opportunity aimed at helping EIU faculty develop projects partnering with faculty or staff within the university, in the community, or with faculty in other institutions of higher education. Successful proposals focus on creating opportunities through which faculty can explore a topic of mutual interest from different perspectives, develop creative/innovative interdisciplinary or integrative pedagogies, strengthen cross-disciplinary and inter-departmental collaborations in scholarship or teaching and learning, promote the integration or incorporation of diverse intellectual, social, and/or cultural perspectives into curricula, and/or develop integrative models of teaching and learning or the assessment of integrative teaching approaches.
