The College is updating its funding requests for instructional equipment and departmental classroom improvements:

Instructional Equipment
The College of Liberal Arts & Sciences is expecting to make instructional equipment grants this year.  Instructional equipment includes the purchase, replacement, maintenance, or repair of any equipment that is necessary for the teaching of courses.  Requests should not include computer/technology equipment, which might be funded through student technology fee allocations.

Please submit requests using the Instructional Equipment Proposal form provided [pdf or docx].  Multiple proposals must be prioritized by the DEO.  For departments with significant instructional equipment needs, please include a 3-5 year plan for the purchase, replacement, maintenance, or repair of equipment that is expected over the time period.

Departmental Classroom Improvements
If you have a departmental classroom or teaching lab that is in need of renovation (addressing deferred maintenance or renovations that would improve or enhance the delivery of instruction), please submit a narrative of the request, which includes the room number/location, utilization, rationale, description of the project and an approximate cost.  Multiple proposals must be prioritized by the DEO.

Submission
Please submit separate proposals for instructional equipment requests (using the form provided) and departmental classroom improvement requests (narrative).  Requests for multiple items or projects within each category should be prioritized.  If you have any questions, please contact Eugene Buck at 335-2612 or eugene-buck@uiowa.edu.  Requests should be submitted to Eugene Buck (240 Schaeffer Hall or via e-mail) by Monday, September 25, 2017.

Thank you.
