The release of ChatGPT in late 2022 jump started an ongoing and growing exchange in higher education about both the promises and significant risks posed by Generative Artificial Intelligence, particularly to the teaching and learning enterprise. This site is designed to offer links to programs and resources from U-M and beyond to help you navigate this new landscape. Given how rapidly the GenAI landscape is shifting, we include links to sources that offer regular posts and updates on this topic.

Consultations, Grants, & Awards

CRLT consultants are available to meet with you to discuss how GenAI technology such as ChatGPT and Maizey can be integrated into your courses. You can set up an appointment through our consultation form. UM faculty can also apply for funding for projects involving GenAI through the following CRLT competitions:

  • The Faculty Development Fund (deadline in early fall) and the Gilbert Whitaker Fund for the Improvement of Teaching (deadline in early winter) award up to $10,000 to individual faculty members or small groups of faculty proposing revisions to courses or initiating smaller projects. Grant awards up to $17,500 are available to departments, programs, and groups of faculty who want to work together on more extensive teaching and learning projects that require a larger investment of time/resources and broader collaboration than Level 1 proposals.
  • The Instructional Development Fund offers small grants (up to $1,000) throughout the year to support innovative activities to support teaching, learning, and student engagement at the University of Michigan.
  • The Provost's Teaching Innovation Prize honors original, specific innovations to improve student learning. All Ann Arbor campus faculty, GSIs, students, chairs, directors, deans, and staff members may nominate individuals for this prize. Faculty self-nominations are also accepted.
