DaVinci Institute Creativity in Education Fellowship
2025 Application Information
Each year, the DaVinci Institute offers $1000 Fellowships to promote the scholarship of Creativity in Education. Faculty members at DaVinci Institute member institutions are eligible to apply and may apply as either individuals or part of a collaborative group. Collaborative projects will be eligible for a single award.
The DaVinci Institute seeks to encourage increased understanding about the efficacy of various approaches to developing human creativity. Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that answer questions such as: How do you develop the aptitude to be creative? How do you know when it works? What assessment tools could be used to measure creativity? What are the effects and what is the value of developing creativity in students? These projects may apply to a wide variety of educational settings, including K-12, higher education, corporate training, and community development.
DaVinci Creativity Fellowship awardees will receive a $1000 grant to apply to any aspect of completing the proposed project.
DaVinci Creativity Fellows will be asked to provide a brief presentation about the completed project to the DaVinci Institute Board of Directors approximately one year after receiving funding. The Board reserves the right to determine the time, date, and location of this presentation in consultation with each fellow.
There is no institutional limit for the number of Creativity in Education Fellowship proposals that can be submitted.
Each submission must include the Applicant information and Institutional Approval Form with all required signatures.
The deadline for applications is February 7, 2025.
