Harvard faculty, students, deans, administrators, and postdoctoral researchers with instructional roles were eligible to apply for funding of up to $50K, individually or as groups. A Faculty Selection Committee chose proposals that included a mixture of these qualities and emphasized extendability in their decision-making process.

    The HILT Teaching & Learning Consortium (TLC) brings together key representatives across the University to work together to catalyze and support innovation in teaching and learning. TLC members provide pedagogical and academic technology support in their respective school or university unit including the development and execution of HILT activities such as grant projects. Importantly, the TLC fosters a dynamic and useful network among its members, to share best practices, promote dialogue, build community, and address common challenges with each other and their colleagues.
