Information sessions and application deadlines are coming up soon for Course Enrichment Grants and Research Sprints. Both programs provide substantial support for instructors at UVA — one in the classroom and the other in your area of research, no matter how far along it may be. See a list of previously funded projects.
Course Enrichment Grants
Course Enrichment Grants provide support to faculty who would like to enhance their students’ abilities to seek, evaluate, manage, and use information and data in scholarly contexts, as well as create new types of media-rich class assignments.
Recipients receive:
- $2,500, which can be applied to summer wages or to a research account.
- Dedicated support from experienced librarians, technologists, or other Library staff.
Proposals from all disciplines are welcome. The Grant will assist with planning which should be completed before the semester of the course offering.

Research Sprints
Faculty Research Sprints offer faculty the opportunity to partner with a team of expert librarians on a new or existing project or a component of a broader project in any phase of development. Individuals or teams of faculty will work intensively with librarians for four and a half working days without distractions to produce a tangible product or outcome. See a list of previously supported projects.
Areas in which the Library can offer in-house expertise include:
- Archival research
- Data and metadata creation, management, analysis, and preservation
- Literature reviews
- Intellectual property/copyright
