Pipeline for Innovation
The Pipeline for Innovation is a grant process designed to foster and support academic innovations involving technology. It provides a framework to assess the pedagogical value of new innovations, uniformly track and analyze support costs, and fund exceptional proposals.
Sometimes great ideas just need a helping hand to move forward.
These awards are an investment in the creative energy and talents of Creighton faculty interested in integrating technology. All faculty interested in using technology to advance their teaching objectives are encouraged to apply. Projects focused on research and patient care will also be considered. Pipeline for Innovation Awards are funded through the student technology fees received by DoIT.
The application deadline is October 22, 2007. Apply Online
