Grant Applications
For Round 1 of the Innovation and Development and Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Grants, there is the option to lodge either an Expression of Interest or a full grant proposal. Round 2 grants will only accept full proposals invited from Round 1 Expressions of Interest and new Seed Projects.
As a requirement of submission, all La Trobe OLT grant applications must be endorsed by the Office of the DVC(A). All OLT grant applications should be forwarded by the internal deadlines listed below to the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Future Learning) Associate Professor Claire Macken on email to c.macken@latrobe.edu.au
The internal deadlines are earlier than the OLT deadline to provide sufficient time for La Trobe DVC(A) endorsement.
Requests for letters of support from the DVC(A) for projects led by other institutions with La Trobe as a partner should be emailed to Associate Professor Claire Macken (c.macken@latrobe.edu.au). Include your full project proposal and a written letter of support for endorsement.
