Educational Strategies Development Fund (ESDF)
A strategic development fund for teaching and learning was established by the University Education Committee in late 1994 using funds from the first Quality round. The University has supported the continuation of this initiative through the annual allocation of funding for Educational Strategic development.
The fund provides support for educational developments in keeping with the Learning and Teaching Strategic Plan. To this end the emphasis is on strategic value to the Faculty and the University and funding decisions are based as much on judgements about this (usually in consultation with the relevant Dean) as on the intrinsic merit of the proposal.
