Deadline to apply for summer support is March 1

Summer Instructional Development Professorships (SIDPs) fund course development grounded in sound teaching practices. Designed to allow faculty to work full-time on instructional development for four weeks during the summer, these Professorships provide a salary stipend of $4000. Work must go beyond normal course development (the program does not fund updating of course content for example) and focus on enhancing student learning.

The Online SIDP program grants $4,000 summer stipends to UND faculty working full-time for four weeks on innovative instructional projects for online courses offered through Distance Education in the following academic year. As with traditional SIDPs, the project must go beyond normal course development and have the potential to increase student learning.

The deadline for both programs is noon Tuesday, March 1, and complete information is available online at www.oid.und.edu.
