Curricular Innovation through OER Grant Program

The University of Texas System

The UT System Office of Academic Affairs is pleased to invite proposals for the Curricular Innovation through OER Grant Program. This two-year initiative supports UT System faculty, librarians, administrative leaders, researchers, and other practitioners in both academic and health institutions to engage with Open Educational Resources and Open Education as a vehicle for curricular innovation, teaching improvement, and deeper student learning and success.

Through the generosity of the UT System Chancellor and the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, a total of $250,000 is available and will be distributed over two years in the form of individual and collaborative grants to academic and health institutions.

Institutions may submit up to four (4) proposals either for individual or collaborative awards (including collaboration both within the institution and with other institutions). Institutional leadership will determine their own processes but, in most cases, determination of which proposals are forwarded to UT System will be made by institutional library deans and/or directors in consultation with provosts and/or other campus leaders as appropriate, with final determination made by the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

A review committee led by the Office of Academic Affairs and including campus representatives will make the final selection of funded proposals using a rubric keyed to the submission requirements and template.

More information is coming soon about the UTA review process. Submissions will be due to the UTA review team by Friday, January 16.

Please contact the OER & Digital Scholarship team with questions.
