The Teaching Innovation Program (TIP) grant is an award opportunity for departments to develop and implement plans for new and innovative approaches to teaching. The Provost’s Office is committed to providing resources and support to departments and faculty who can present a innovative plan for accomplishing the TIP program objectives.  

We welcome all teaching innovation ideas, but for 2025-2026, preference will be given to proposals implementing innovative face-to-face or multi-modal courses offered at the UH Katy location or innovative conversions of current face-to-face courses offered at UH to hybrid courses offered at UH.  

If you propose to develop and offer a multi-modal course at UH Katy, please note that you will teach a face-to-face section and a synchronous online section offered at the same time.  The classrooms at UH Katy are well-equipped and technical support is available.
