Such grants include, but are not limited to, worthy projects in instructional methods, instructional research, pedagogical applications of new technologies, development of instructional materials, and professional development in accordance with criteria established by the committee. The committee advises the vice chancellor for Academic Affairs and reports on its activities to the chancellor.
