NOVA Radical InNOVAtion Grant – Proposals Due April 14

The NOVA Radical InNOVAtion Fund is distributed through a competitive grant process to provide limited funding for NOVA faculty, staff and administrators to plan and implement “new and creative initiatives” that enhance the education of NOVA students. The InNOVAtion Fund can be thought of as being similar in its approach to a corporation’s research and development (R&D) funds.

The Office of Academic Affairs invites all NOVA employees to submit proposals for the funding of innovative projects at NOVA. Priority will be given to initiatives that focus on innovations that improve student recruitment, program completion, student retention rates and the overall quality of programs offered by the College. Project proposals should also reflect student impact, measurable outcomes and sustainability. Collaboration among faculty, staff, administrators and students on these projects is highly encouraged. Applicants must also submit a timeline for implementation with the application.

If you are a NOVA faculty, staff or administrator interested in applying for funds as outlined above, please complete the 2022-23 NOVA Innovation Grant Application. Total funding available for the AY2022-2023 (summer 2022 to June 2023) award cycle is $50,000 supported and funded by the NOVA Foundation. The maximum requested funding per project is up to $10,000. Completed applications are due on Friday, April 14, 2022. A college-wide selection committee, chaired by the VPAA/CAO, will make funding decisions. The Office of Academic Affairs will announce the NOVA Radical InNOVAtion grant winners by April 28, 2022.

Please submit your completed application form by Friday, April 14, 2022 to Robin Muse.
