Bringing Theory to Practice Demonstration Sites

The Association of American Colleges & Universities (AACU) has released new RFPs for the 2010 - 2012 grant cycle. Proposals are requested for projects during 2010-2012 that address one of the two following emphases: 1) Institutional efforts to examine, learn from and to make sustainable initiatives that foster the gains from the relationship between college students’ civic development and their psychosocial well-being; and 2) institutional ability to demonstrate the evaluation and sustainability of initiatives that address the increasing opportunities for students to have transformative educational experiences and for institutions to transform priorities and practices so as to make such experiences both expected and provided.

Amount: $150,000 (across 2 years)

Date due: January 15, 2010

Demonstration Sites serve as a unique model for work consistent with BTtoP objectives. Each institution plans, implements, and evaluates its project, participates in cross-site meetings with other institutions, exchanges information and ideas, and builds mutual support as part of an overall learning community.
