Bringing Theory to Practice

Campus Participation: Demonstration Sites

The Demonstration Site Program was the first major effort by BTtoP to study the relationship between engaged learning, civic development and the mental and overall well-being of students. The Program's first round of funding was 2005-2007, during which seven institutions were awarded Demonstration Site grants. In May of this year, BTtoP awarded four more Demonstration Site grants of $90,000 each for a two-year project.

Please be advised that Bringing Theory to Practice has chosen its Demonstration Sites for the 2007-2010 funding period and is not accepting new applications until further notice.

2007-2009

Participating Institutions

 

2005-2007

The Bringing Theory to Practice Project has awarded seven grants totaling $630,000 to seven demonstration site campuses. Each of these institutions is being funded to develop and evaluate new strategies to get students more engaged with their learning, and, in so doing, improve their health and civic engagement.

Please see this report from Ashley Finley at Dickinson College, compiling research from the Demonstration Sites BTtoP Research PDF.
