This paper describes howVentureWell is integrating this three-phase approach to institutionalization, Designing forInstitutionalization (DI), into its Faculty Grants program. The DI approach is an adaptation of thethree-phase Designing for Sustained Adoption Framework, which supports educationaldevelopers to increase the percentage of educational innovations that are
