IRB?
NOT needed unless you plan to share publicly
But a good idea!
Even then, NOT needed for proposal
Erika Zynda will help those who get grants and plan to
publish
Can be Exempt (short form!) if using “normal educational
practices”– those from LibGuide
Yearly timeline
Feb. 1: Proposals due for continuing grants
March 1: Proposals due for NEW grants
April 1: Notifications of funding
April: feedback on all proposals
May-August: projects start

HIGH IMPACT PRACTICES
SOME OTHER IDEAS
(Kuh, 2008)
Advising changes
First year seminar and experiences
IU Flags and similar
Common intellectual experiences
Tutoring programs
Learning communities
Supplemental instruction
Writing-intensive courses
Mentoring programs—seniors mentor freshmen?

you 80%; in college you learn 80% on your own)
Capstone courses and projects
Changing student mindset—intelligence is not
set, but can improve
Ideas based on IUSB data . . .
Improve first semester GPA
by doing (your idea here)
Why?
First term GPA of 2.5 or up—
70% are here the next fall
First term GPA below 2.5-Only 22% here the next fall
Improve funding for low
income students by (your
idea)
Why?
High income students–73% here the next fall
Low income students—63%
here the next fall
Even more project ideas
Dept. Data Drilling—support and encouragement for depts who want
to explore the data on their classes or majors
Ways to encourage our best teachers to teach freshman classes
Encouraging student-instructor interaction—”lunch with your
professor” coupons?
Change classroom teaching strategies to be more active/ higher
order
More jobs on campus for students. Work-study “clearinghouse” or
