PARTICIPATE | Grant Programs
The Ohio State University is very pleased to announce several initiatives to provide preparation and ongoing support.
OSTEP | Seed Grants | University Departmental Awards for Exemplary GTA Programs | GTA Coordinator Grants | Ohio Learning Network CORC
OSTEP
We have worked to create opportunities for faculty to engage in learning communities through the Ohio State Teaching Enhancement Program (OSTEP). These groups meet regularly for a year, working together to support each others' efforts on a teaching related project. Over the past several years, we have supported a variety of learning communities on different topics or for different cohorts. Our current communities are the Graduate Teaching Fellows and the Mid–Career and Senior Faculty Community.
