QEP Action Projects -- Grants for Improving Disciplinary Writing
<p> Old Dominion University’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is intended to improve upper-division undergraduate students’ disciplinary writing – that is, writing that demonstrates a reasoning process supported by research and reflection on a problem, topic or issue. ODU’s QEP has two major components: 1.) <strong>QEP Workshops </strong>that focus on <em>Learning Through Writing</em> and are designed to help <em>individual faculty members</em> improve their courses and 2.) <strong>QEP Action Projects </strong>which are internal grants that will be awarded for <em>program activities </em>related to the QEP’s goal of engaging upper-division undergraduate students in disciplinary writing.</p> <p> </p> <p> The <strong>inaugural QEP Action Project grants will be awarded in spring 2013 and will range from $2,000 to $20,000</strong>. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM on February 1, 2013.</p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>Pl</strong><strong>ease review the attached document for detailed information on how to submit a QEP Action Project proposal. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p> For more information on ODU’s QEP, visit <a href="http://www.odu.edu/QEP">www.odu.edu/QEP</a>.
