Frequently Asked Questions
Do Biggio grant pages include previous winners?
Yes. Each grant and award page includes previous winners or awardees so applicants can review prior projects, recipients, and examples of supported work.
Who can apply for Biggio Center grants and funding opportunities?
Eligibility varies by opportunity. Some opportunities are designed for individual faculty, while others support departments, teams, or specific teaching and learning initiatives.
What makes a strong teaching and learning grant proposal?
Strong proposals clearly identify a teaching or learning challenge, explain the proposed approach, connect the work to student learning, and describe how impact will be assessed.
Do projects have to involve technology?
No. Technology can support strong teaching and learning projects, but it should not be the starting point. The strongest proposals begin with a meaningful learning need.
Can departments apply for funding or recognition?
Yes. Some opportunities, such as the Departmental Award for Excellence in Education, are designed specifically to recognize department-level achievement.

Yes. The Biggio Center partners with faculty, academic units, institutions, and organizations on government, corporate, and foundation funding opportunities aligned with our expertise and services.
