SALTISE Mini-Grant Community

About

SALTISE Mini-Grants support projects that enrich student learning and foster the use of active learning practices in post-secondary education. These grants are designed to help bring ideas to life—whether through the development of learning activities, teaching tools, or collaborative initiatives that enhance how students engage with course material. Beyond individual projects, Mini-Grants also support initiatives that bring people together. We encourage proposals that build or sustain collaborations across institutions and organizations, contributing to a growing community focused on active learning and pedagogical innovation.

More about our mini-grant community

Person drafting questions Projects may be short-term (a few months) or longer-term (up to one year). Calls for proposals are typically launched twice a year, in the Fall and Winter terms.

Each Mini-Grant provides up to $2,000 in funding. The number of Mini-Grants awarded each year may vary depending on available funds.

We welcome applications from faculty, instructional designers, and other educational professionals, as well as graduate and postdoctoral students working in collaboration with eligible faculty in Quebec.

Applications are submitted through an online form. Applicants will be asked to provide a description of their project, including:

The project objective(s)
Target audience
Scope and potential impact
Expected deliverables (e.g., video, survey, guidelines, etc., if applicable)
How the project contributes to the SALTISE community
Justification of their proposed budget.

Mini-Grants are rooted in a spirit of sharing and collective growth. As such, funding is contingent on the following:

Project reporting
- A final report outlining outcomes, impact, and challenges is to be submitted within 60 days of project completion.
Dissemination of results
- Grant recipients are expected to share their work with the broader community through at least one of the following:
  1. A presentation at the SALTISE Annual Conference
  2. A webinar hosted by SALTIES
  3. A contribution of one or more active learning activities (e.g., lesson plans) to the SALTISE website
Acknowledgment
- All materials, tools, or research outputs developed with Mini-Grant support must acknowledge SALTISE as a funding source.
