Looking Ahead: NCARB Prize and Grant Programs
The NCARB Grant is an annual program of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards that builds upon the 10-year success of the NCARB Prize Program. NCARB is increasing its focus on the NCARB Grant Program. In 2011 a total of $75,000 will be available for up to seven grants to support new for-credit curricular initiatives that integrate practice and education in the academy and:
- Integrate non-faculty architect practitioners
- Create innovative concepts and methods to integrate practice and education
- Achieve immediate and continuing impact on the architecture curriculum
- Respond to specific needs and constraints of the students, the school, and the profession and institutional constraints
- Raise awareness of issues central to practice and the architect’s responsibility for the public health, safety, and welfare
- Respond to relevant issues identified in the 2007 Practice Analysis of Architecture and in Building Community: A New Future for Architecture Education and Practice (The Boyer Report)
- Serve a s a model for other faculty and architecture schools
Faculty members who are considering submitting proposals for the NCARB Grant are encouraged to regularly review updates and detailed information, including current eligibility and submission requirements, submission forms, and the current schedule for submission of proposals.
