The DCU TLF is a special fund designated on an annual basis by the DCU Executive Committee to support strategic innovation and enhancement of the University's Teaching and Learning activities. It is administered by ODTL (now OVPLI) with the advice of the Teaching and Learning Committee.
Specific allocations were made from this fund in the session 2003-2004 to support development projects to enhance teaching and learning activities in DCU. The maximum available award from the TLF was €15,000 per project. Total project costs may, of course, be in excess of this if the additional funding is being provided from other source(s).
The call was issued on 12th December 2003. The call was closed on 16th January 2004. Applications were reviewed by the TLF Evaluation Panel, a sub-committee of the Teaching & Learning Committee, according to a detailed evaluation process. Recommendations from the Evaluation Panel were considered and approved by the full Teaching & Learning Committee on 4th February 2004. Applicants were informed of the outcomes on 12th February 2004 (one day in advance of the published timetable).
While all applicants were provided with individual feedback, the Evaluation Panel also compiled a number of general comments on the applications, and the process, as a whole.
In summary, a total of 25 applications were received, seeking €285,000 in funding; 10 awards were made, amounting to an allocation from the TLF of €120,000.
