Innovation Grants of up to $10,000 are available to support OER creation when no existing OER or library-licensed content is available to meet the learning objectives in a course. Preference will be given to highly collaborative efforts and those yielding the greatest benefit to UTA students. Multi-institutional partnerships are encouraged.
Though not required, Innovation Grant applicants are encouraged to attend an Open Textbook Workshop before submitting an application. The workshop will help to identify and assess existing OER. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to write a short review of an open textbook and will receive an additional $200 stipend for the written review.
