Resteach
In the 2010 UQ Budget, $4.5 million has been set aside from the Enhanced Student Contribution Funds to encourage and facilitate schools to utilise, in a limited fashion, some of the large numbers of research staff who are at UQ. A large majority of these staff currently have little formal contact with undergraduate or graduate coursework students.
The scheme, named ResTeach, is designed to remove a frequently stated impediment to utilising research staff, namely resource allocation, and thereby:
- expose students to key researchers, who hopefully can convey the excitement of their field;
- improve the student: teacher ratio in an effective and efficient manner;
- provide an opportunity for interested researchers to expand their portfolio;
- strengthen the relationship between research and teaching to improve the student learning experience, and
- reduce the teaching loads of existing T&R academics.
The 2010 ResTeach Guidelines and proposal template are now available.

Due Date: applications should be submitted via Executive Deans to the Office of the DVCA by Friday, 30 October 2009.
