The Graduate Student Teaching Development Program (TDP) at OpenEd recognizes the importance of cultivating a culture of scholarship in teaching and learning (SoTL) in post-secondary education and supporting graduate student teaching development. To these ends, the TDP offers funding for graduate students to propose, initiate, research and disseminate the results of a three-semester research project that investigates an aspect of teaching and learning in the post-secondary context.

Up to two projects will be awarded $500 each, per academic year.
Approved costs associated with research can be submitted and refunded during the project. The balance of the funding will be paid after the presentation or publication of results of the research project.
