Learning Challenge Grants Typically advertised in January with a March deadline Grant emphasis changes yearly Awards have ranged from $500 to $15,000 to accomplish innovative pedagogical or curriculum projects. Can be used for very innovative technology but can’t be used to support an entire lab. Pilot projects for technology are encouraged. For example, nursing program piloted a test of iPods for nursing majors.
