The School of Global Environmental Sustainability is inviting proposals for curriculum development, with a special offering for climate change-specific curriculum projects, in partnership with the CSU Climate Initiative.

Sustainability’s global grand challenges affect everyone. It is Colorado State University’s goal that all graduating students have the knowledge and tools to tackle these complex and interconnected problems in their future careers. Curriculum Innovation Grants for faculty take initial steps toward expanding student exposure to interdisciplinary sustainability concepts across all fields of study at CSU.

SoGES is seeking proposals that explore innovative curricular improvements that will infuse climate and sustainability concepts into existing and new CSU coursework, and that demonstrate a willingness to share results and insights with other CSU faculty. This year only, in partnership with the CSU Climate Initiative, SoGES is seeking to grow its climate change offerings on campus at the undergraduate level.

Funds under the climate change-focused category must be expended by June 30, 2024. Funds received under the sustainability category must be expended between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.

Proposals are invited from all colleges and disciplines at CSU, and grants can be used to modify existing courses or to develop entirely new courses.

Download the full RFP for more information on eligibility, requirements and frequently asked questions. The deadline to apply for a grant is Dec. 15 at 11:59 p.m.
