The Sears think[box] Faculty Fellowship (TFF) grants are designed to promote engagement of CWRU faculty with Sears think[box]. The program provides opportunities for CWRU teaching faculty to explore ways to integrate think[box] resources and experiences into curriculum offerings. The grants will fund content development for curricular applications. Each project will include a think[box] staff member as co-PI. We expect the following outcomes:
- Curriculum content
- Publication opportunities
- External funding opportunities
