Innovation Inside Curriculum Grants

In an effort to enhance innovation in the classroom, the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation launched the first series of "Innovation Inside” curriculum grants. At $2000 each, these awards recognize selected faculty that are enhancing their existing undergraduate and/or graduate coursework in experimental ways to best foster a culture of innovation and cultivate innovative traits and skills in USC students. Developed as a pilot, this intentionally small and highly-selective grant program is designed to establish a diverse cadre of faculty who emphasize innovation in their curriculum, and are interested in exploring different ways to teach the process. At the culmination of the program, Innovation Inside” award

recipients will deliver a short description of key findings from their project, as well as participate in a 1-day summit to share their experiences and lessons learned with other awardees, peers, mentors and innovators. Learn more about the 2007 award recipients.
