The University of Wisconsin-Madison was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) federal grant program.
The three-year award will support the UW Odyssey Project from September 1, 2022 through August 30, 2025. The Project aims to improve postsecondary instruction and expand opportunities through institutional reforms and innovative strategies, in line with the FIPSE program's goal of supporting such activities. As the prime awardee, UW-Madison will deliver proposed products and services for the Project through its Research and Sponsored Programs division. No further details were provided on specific deliverables, but the funding and period of performance indicate the University will undertake initiatives to test new approaches or models for strengthening postsecondary education over the next three years.
