Grant recipients are required to submit a final project report, including any relevant qualitative or quantitative data, for posting on the AAPT website.

Eligibility: Open to any instructor teaching at the college-level: full-time, part-time, adjuncts, and grad students are all welcome. Must be a current AAPT member.
