NCA: Communication Pedagogy Grants 2024

GrantsCommunication Pedagogy Grants, National Communication Association, Washington, DC, USA. Deadline: 1 September 2024.

The Teaching and Learning Council supports and promotes disciplinary pedagogy. The Communication Pedagogy Grant (CPG) envisions a space for communication educators to explore innovative pedagogical practices, assessment design, and learning environments. The CPG will fund proposals that are most likely to (a) have a long-term impact on faculty, students, or community environments through the development of learning opportunities; (b) that support, challenge, experiment with, and/or advocate for impactful and enduring change in marginalized spaces inside or outside the classroom, such as (but not limited to) grants that foster critical thinking and deliberative engagement with social discourses; and (c) that support exploration of transferable instructional communication methodologies, practices, content, or models, that if adopted by others will create a meaningful teaching experience.

The CPG seeks to benefit instructors at any career stage and to address a gap in pedagogical funding to support:

  • instructors who seek to translate research findings into practice related to instructional communication methodologies, practices, models, or variables (immediacy, clarity, teacher authenticity, etc.);

  • instructors who seek to explore innovative instructional communication pedagogical methodologies, practices or models focusing on inclusivity;

  • instructors who seek to explore innovative instructional communication pedagogical methodologies, practices, or models to teach fundamental communication theories and concepts; and

  • creation of pedagogical materials that could be used by others.

    Applicants may seek support up to $15,000. Applications are due September 1 for awards given in the following calendar year.
