Focus for the Curricular Incubation Center Funding:
Funding will focus on making our existing programs more attractive to non-traditional students, adult students and graduate students by converting programs to online or hybrid formats utilizing flexible delivery modes including evening courses, weekend courses and three-year degree programs. Collaborative proposals that focus on globalization/internationalization, diversity and ethics are invited. The development of the undergraduate and graduate degree programs and subprograms (minors, specializations, concentrations, certifications) that are included in the UW-Stout academic plan will also be considered.
The range of awards will be from $2,000 to $9,000 depending on the scope of the project and the number of individuals involved. Fringe benefits for personnel at the extramural rate need to be included (see: Extramural Budget Info Chart). Proposals involving more than one individual should designate a lead principal investigator (PI).
