Australian Learning and Teaching Council Grants

The Australian Learning & Teaching Council (ALTC) was established in 2004 as a national focus for the enhancement of learning and teaching in higher education. Funding is available through three programs (see below) that each have two rounds per year, commencing in 2010.
The Research Services Office and CEDIR are working together to assist interested applicants.

Changes for 2010:

1. There will be two general calls for proposals in each Grants Scheme Program.

2. Full proposal applications only will be accepted (ie No EOIs).

3. The ALTC is currently reviewing its strategic priorities and may introduce additional priorities for Round 2 applications in 2010. If this occurs, revised Guidelines will be published in September 2009. A full review of these guidelines will occur in June 2010.
