Technology for Teaching Grant Guidelines
HP Technology for Teaching Grant Guidelines Now AvailableDeadline: February 14, 2008
The HP ( http://www.hp.com/ ) Technology for Teaching Grant Initiative is designed to support the innovative use of mobile technology in K-16 education, and to help identify K-12 public schools and two- and four-year colleges and universities that HP might support with future grants.
In 2008, HP will award a total of nearly $7 million in cash and equipment to K-12 schools in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and to colleges and universities throughout North America (Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.).
K-12 Schools: HP will grant awards to K-12 public schools that are using a collaborative, team-based approach to implementing technology integration projects. The activities of the project must be focused on using technology to teach, rather than on teaching students to use technology. The value of the grant award to each school is approximately $40,000. The grant program is targeted to K-12 public schools in the United States, including Puerto Rico. HP will select teams of five teachers from approximately 110 schools to receive the equipment and professional development support they need to effectively integrate technology into their instruction. Preference will be given to projects that address mathematics and/or science. Preference will also be given to schools that serve a high proportion of low-income students, relative to their district or state's free and reduced-price lunch percentages.
Colleges and Universities: The HP Technology for Teaching Higher Education Grant Initiative will select approximately 44 campuses from throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The program is open to all two- or four-year, public or private, colleges or universities and will be awarded on a competitive basis. The higher education grant award is valued at approximately $77,000, and includes a $20,000 cash grant for the principal investigator to use to support the work of the project.
To be considered for a 2008 HP Technology for Teaching Higher Education Grant, a project proposal must propose a course redesign project for one or more undergraduate courses, where at least one course is focused on one of the following eligible disciplines: Mathematics; Science (physical, environmental, computer); Engineering (electrical, computer, mechanical, environmental, materials); and Information Systems/Information Technology.
Requests for Proposals, with specific details about the grant goals and application process, are available now at the HP Web site. The online application process will begin on January 8, 2008.
