California Educational Learning Lab

The California Education Learning Lab is a state-funded grantmaking organization. We award grants to support faculty-led projects across California’s public higher education segments, particularly in STEM disciplines, to incentivize innovation in teaching and learning approaches. Our funded projects leverage technology tools and the science of human learning to foster student success.

National Association of System Heads (NASH)

With generous funding from the Dell Foundation, the National Association of System Heads (NASH) is thrilled to launch a new Catalyst Fund round related to system-level course sharing, meaning the collaborative delivery of courses across institutions (i.e. cross-registration).   This may include projects that enable a student registered at their home campus to take courses at another campus within the same or different system to provide more robust course offerings, alleviate bottleneck courses, or collaboratively deliver degree programs. Course sharing and course flexibility projects may include both online and in-person courses, and address areas such as technology, data, policy, revenue sharing, stakeholder engagement, raising student awareness, and financial aid. The Catalyst Fund impact will be far-reaching but the concept is simple: through philanthropic support, NASH will be able to recognize and incentivize the development of your big ideas that, once proven to work, have the potential to be scaled not only across your system but amongst your peers around the country.
