Deadline: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 - One application per group

Note: The District FD Funds allow us to support 7 CIPE Grants this academic year.

Overview
A CIPE is a small group of Seattle Colleges faculty working in collaboration to investigate questions aligned with the anti-bias, anti-racist (ABAR) pedagogy and practice, the district core strategic priorities and Guided Pathways principles. Members conduct an inquiry project during the winter and spring quarters and report findings at the end of that academic calendar year. CIPEs explore and develop diverse interests within and across disciplines, divisions, and programs to promote student achievement and success.

2021-22 CIPE proposals must address strategies and approaches that promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), anti-bias, anti-racist (ABAR) education, student engagement and learning, or enrollment, retention, and completion.

Budget:  Each faculty member in a CIPE team will receive $500 upon the completion of your project for a team of 2-5; with an additional stipend for a zoom workshop or poster session to share your work before June 13, 2022. This funding is limited to allowable expenses within Seattle Colleges policy, such as stipend for time spent on creating the products, purchasing books or journals, and or similar purposes. Funds may not be used for food or refreshments. The funds will be awarded upon successful completion of the project.

CIPE teams agree to:
Work collaboratively as a team during the academic year.
Meet with the District’s FD Coordinator once at the beginning and once again half-way through the process.
As needed, meet with your campus Office of Institutional Effectiveness about data to support the inquiry.
Summarize findings in a final report and submit the report to the Faculty Development Coordinator by May 9, 2022 and make the project link available for other faculty to access or to be posted on the FD website. Summarize findings and submit a 1-2-page report to Faculty Development by May 9, 2022.  Submit the final report and make the project link available for other faculty to access or to be posted on the FD website by June 6, 2022.
Optional: By the end of Spring Quarter 22 (June 13, approx.), prepare a zoom workshop or poster session to share outcomes and findings, and ideas or practices that could be adopted by others (stipends will be provided for this).
