All instructors will carry the title of Grand Challenge Learning Teaching Fellow. Appointments will begin in Spring 2016, with the potential to repeat the course in Spring 2017 and Spring 2018. In addition to receiving all IUs for the course, the department or unit that employs the instructor will be eligible to receive a supplement of $9,000 during the pilot period.
