SoTL Finish Line Award

Take your SoTL study to the finish line…

TLI offers a flexible “last mile” program to support faculty completing Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) projects. This opportunity is designed for those who have IRB approval (if required), have collected data, and are beginning analysis.

Participants receive funding to complete and submit a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal of their choice by June 1, 2027. Funding is awarded in two installments ($1,000 each) based on completion of individualized “mile markers” across the academic year.

Eligibility

Open to full-time, benefits-eligible faculty. Eligibility will be confirmed with your department. Graduate students are not eligible, and part-time faculty should contact TLI before applying. Projects must be in the “last mile” stage, including:

• IRB approval (if applicable)
• Completed consent process (if applicable)
• Collected and organized data
