FUNDING AND AWARDS
Apply to Join the AY 2025-2026 Catalyst Cohort
Would you like tailored support from CETLOE experts to explore ideas related to teaching and learning? Are you looking for a community of colleagues excited about working together to explore, test, and share ways to improve the quality, effectiveness, and impact of teaching methods and learning experiences at Georgia State University? If so, we’ve got some great news! We are now accepting applications from individual faculty, programs, departments, or entire colleges to participate in Catalyst, a new community at CETLOE working together to develop, test, and scale innovative teaching practices, technologies, and designs.
Catalyst participants receive:
- Comprehensive CETLOE Support: From project ideation through completion, you’ll work with a dedicated CETLOE liaison and receive support from a team of CETLOE experts assembled to meet the specific needs of your project.
- Financial Assistance: While not all projects require funding, up to $10,000 may be requested to support eligible expenses, including technology, graduate student assistance, and summer salary support. Additional funds may be available for ambitious, large-scale initiatives. Priority will be given to projects that do not have an alternative source of funding.
Catalyst projects need to:
- Be able to be completed within one academic year
- Have clear objectives and evaluation criteria
- Connect to the year’s theme and align with program tracks (see below)
- Thoughtfully leverage CETLOE resources
- Be relevant across disciplines and have the potential to scale
Our inaugural theme is CONNECTIONS.
Fostering meaningful connections is essential for creating learning experiences that are engaging, relevant, and transformative, helping students, faculty, and programs thrive in an interconnected academic and professional world. In what ways does your idea relate to "connections"? Are you wanting to connect course content to career-relevant competencies? Do you want to foreground interdisciplinary connections within new or existing programs? Are you interested in nurturing fruitful peer-to-peer connections? Do you have ideas about how to improve faculty connections with colleagues or potential mentors? Do you want to strengthen students’ connections with a place or the community? Applicants should feel free to be creative in their interpretation, but all submissions should clearly relate to the theme.
Catalyst Timeline
February 3 – Applicants are encouraged to attend Catalyst webinars or discuss your idea with a CETLOE liaison.
March 28 – APPLICATIONS DUE. To apply, please complete the Catalyst Proposal Form.
May 2 – Applicants notified
May and June – MOUs signed
Early July – Funds distributed to academic departments, if applicable. Depending on faculty availability, Catalyst teams can also begin scoping the project, setting timelines, and initiating work.

Late April (TBD) – Catalyst End-of-Year Celebration and Showcase. At this event, Catalyst teams will present project outcomes with the wider Georgia State community.
Submission Tracks
In addition to connecting to this year’s theme, applications should fall within one of or more of the following submission tracks.
Projects focusing on investigating or advancing pedagogical practices, gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness, and enhancing educational theory in action.
Projects aimed at designing new courses/programs or enhancing existing ones.
Proposals that integrate high-impact practices known to increase student engagement and success.
Projects focused on developing or incorporating free, accessible teaching materials to reduce costs and expand learning access for students. Faculty interested in this track are also strongly encouraged to apply for an Affordable Learning Georgia (ALG) grant. That application window closes on March 10. Email CETLOE at [email protected] for assistance putting together an ALG proposal.
For projects seeking to develop or expand digital badges, certificates, or other credentials that validate specific, career-relevant competencies or skills for students.
Submissions related to piloting or integrating learning technologies or technology platforms, including generative AI, to support teaching, learning, and student success.
FAQs
Yes, CETLOE offers support throughout a project’s lifespan, including ideation, idea refinement, alignment with themes and submission tracks, budget creation, evaluation planning, etc. Applicants are encouraged to attend Catalyst webinars or schedule a time to discuss your idea with a CETLOE liaison.
As long as projects align with the year’s theme and fall within the requested tracks, partnerships could be anything from large-scale, college-wide transformation initiatives to small-scale research projects led by individual faculty members. Priority will be given to projects that align with strategic initiatives, have clearly defined outcomes and evaluation plans, and have the potential to scale for wide impact. Catalyst applicants will also need to provide a letter of support from their department chair or dean that indicates approval of the budget, acknowledgement that the academic department’s budget manager will be responsible for dispersing funds according to the spending plan, enthusiasm regarding the project and its potential impacts, and commitment to helping the Catalyst participant sustain and scale the work, if applicable.
In addition to the comprehensive support from CETLOE experts that program participants will receive, applicants may request funds to cover technology expenses, GTA/GRA costs, student workers, supplies, summer salary, or other incentives your department approves. A maximum of $10,000 could be available for individual projects, although we anticipate that most projects will require less. Projects requesting funding should include a detailed budget narrative.
All awarded funds will be routed through home departments for dispersal in early July, and home departments have the final say in what is or is not appropriate, acceptable, or possible. Please discuss your project and funding requests with your department prior to submitting a proposal. CETLOE will not participate in any financial negotiations between faculty and their home department.
For FY25-26, Catalyst is the primary way CETLOE will offer financial assistance to support projects and scholarship that have historically been supported via faculty teaching fellowships and mini-grants. Fellowships and mini-grants will not be available for the 25-26 academic year.
CETLOE, members of the Catalyst cohort, and their academic leadership will all sign an MOU to ensure that all stakeholders on the same page regarding expectations from the start. In short, we are seeking Catalyst cohort members who will agree to:
- Actively and meaningfully collaborate with project teams throughout the duration of the project. To keep lines of communication open and projects moving, faculty will need to meet with their CETLOE liaison at least twice each semester. Many projects, especially course or program development projects, will require more frequent interactions with CETLOE project teams.
- Participation in three Catalyst community events: a kickoff event in early September, a cohort check-in in early January, and a celebration and showcase in late April. We’ll meet in our CETLOE space on the Atlanta Campus, but virtual attendance will also be possible for the kickoff and check-in events.
- (Optional) Share findings and insights via the CETLOE blog
- (Optional) Tap networks, produce educational materials and toolkits, and lead workshops to help publicize findings and scale promising methods
- (Optional) Co-author journal articles or co-present at conferences with CETLOE partners
To start, CETLOE will be happy to work with you to transform nascent ideas into promising proposals. Just let us know what you’re thinking and we’ll be in touch. Also, stay tuned for webinars and additional resources to help craft your proposal.
If your proposal is selected, you’ll be assigned a dedicated CETLOE expert who will serve as a project manager, coordinate CETLOE services, collaborate with any partner groups, keep lines of communication open, and ensure everything is running smoothly. The following services are available to support the project:
- Project management
- Pedagogical consulting
- Research design, IRB navigation, data collection, and data analysis
- Needs assessments, focus groups, surveys, and user testing
- Course and program design and development
- Media production
- Learning technology testing and integration
- Accessibility reviews
Depending on the project, CETLOE may also try to coordinate partnerships with other campus organizations, including IIT, Student Success, International Initiatives, or other groups.
As long as the Catalyst proposal meets our selection criteria, any full-time instructor of any rank is encouraged to submit a Catalyst proposal. Catalyst cohorts do not include visiting faculty or Graduate Teaching Assistants, but we hope GTAs will take advantage of CETLOE's Certificate of Teaching Excellence, International GTA Support, and Mini Courses and Exceptional GTA Badging opportunities.
Good question. After a lengthy review of close to a thousand possible clever and not-so-clever acronyms, we decided to abandon acronyms entirely and explore words that implied inspiration, collaboration, exploration, inquiry, amplification, intentionality, process, support, and other stuff like that. Ember, Ignite, and Spark were among the best early contenders, but we decided that Ember, while cozy and capable of catching more things on fire, implied an end rather than a beginning, Ignite is already a thing, and Spark is maybe too close to Sparks Hall, which is, of course, set to be demolished. So, we turned our attention to Catalyst, which suggests people or things that initiate, support, speed up, or amplify change. Some of us still think Catalyst sounds too sciencey, too corporate, too political, or too close to another Catalyst Program at Georgia State or a movie with the same name. In the end, we ran with it, have no hidden agenda, and hope that you aren’t put off by some negative connotation. We’re just trying to create the conditions that inspire, support, and amplify teaching excellence and innovation.
