Course Development and Augmentation Overview

This program supports the development, implementation, and augmentation of new undergraduate and graduate courses in the study of science and society. 

Priority is given to projects that

  • Contribute to two undergraduate minors that are being developed by the Center, Science and Society and Climate Humanities
  • Seek to co-develop and design pedagogical offerings with collaborators outside academia
  • Incorporate experiential learning opportunities for students

The call is open to instructors at Columbia University (including Barnard College and Core Lecturers) in any discipline. Successful applicants receive a research allowance of $3,000 to be used for the development and teaching of the course over the following two years. Awardees must commit to teaching the course within two years of the start of the grant.

Course Development Grants are supported, in part, by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
