*Request for Proposals*

*IAP Classes for January 2015*

  To: MIT Faculty, Instructors, Postdocs, Graduate Students, 
Undergraduates and Staff

The MIT-SUTD Collaboration office is seeking proposals for new classes 
or expansion of existing classes to be delivered during the January 2015 
Independent Activities Period (IAP). Classes will be offered to MIT 
students, with some participation by students visiting from the 
Singapore University of Technology and Design. All formats will be 
considered; however, courses involving activities in which students work 
together are encouraged. Classes can be from one to three weeks in 
length and must finish on or before January 23. Proposals in all subject 
areas, including engineering, architecture, mathematics, sciences, arts, 
the humanities and the social sciences will be entertained. Funding may 
be extended to include offering the class in future IAP terms. 
Interdisciplinary proposals and classes accessible to the entire MIT 
community are encouraged. In keeping with the IAP concept, proposals 
from the entire MIT community will be entertained. Up to 20 projects may 
be funded.

The preliminary proposal should include:

. A description of the proposed course, including the anticipated number 
of students, the planned activities and the timeline

. A budget request for the MIT-SUTD Collaboration with an estimate of 
costs for development, personnel and/or items to be funded

. Other supplementary sources of funding (encouraged)

. A statement of the students likely to be served

Proposals submitted by September 10 to jessed at mit.edu 
<mailto:jessed at mit.edu> will be given full consideration. The expected 
length is two to four pages. An optional template for the proposal is 
included with this RFP.

Interested parties may contact Jesse DeLaughter at the MIT-SUTD 
Collaboration office with questions concerning the program or possible 
proposals (jessed at mit.edu <mailto:jessed at mit.edu>or 617-324-8223).


Thanks,
Jesse
