Brief Description:

Targeted Support awards are intended to help successful teaching and learning projects scale and extend across the University. HILT has allocated up to $125K annually for Targeted Support where award amounts per project will vary depending upon the overall pool of applicants and awardees. Funding can be used in various ways; for example, to pay for a research assistant, hire a graduate student with academic technology expertise, expand an interdisciplinary teaching tool, or convene collaborative groups. Awardees will receive resources, feedback, and community support to help them scale their projects, and HILT will strive to increase the visibility of the work and connect awardees with others in the broader Harvard community as relevant.

Application Information:

In addition to listing members of the project team and providing a short budget, you will upload a proposal (.pdf) - no more than one page - that answers the following prompts:

Describe the success of your piloted project
Describe your vision for a scaled or extended version of the project
Indicate the important requirements for success, what you believe to be critical for the project to scale (in terms of financial resources, expertise, political will, etc.)

We recommend that you dedicate the majority of the one-page limit to the elements identified above. We encourage you to hyperlink to additional information and to upload any additional materials you feel would help the review committees better understand your project and its potential for scalability.

Eligibility Criteria:

Harvard University benefits-eligible faculty, staff, and postdoctoral researchers are eligible to apply, individually or as groups, for funding. Those applicants whose proposed project has received or is being considered for additional funding sources should indicate this in the provided budget template. Proposals for teaching relief, business-as-usual, or cost-shifting activities will not be awarded funding.

Because a fundamental aim of the HILT Grants program is to produce models that can be shared and implemented on a broader scale for the betterment of the Harvard community, any project or resource produced using HILT support must be open source; proprietary projects will not be considered for funding.

Review Criteria:

Applications are reviewed by members of the Harvard community, including faculty, teaching and learning center staff, academic technology managers, school and university leadership, and members of the Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning, before faculty selection committee deliberations. Final decisions are made by the President and Provost.
