2023 SUNY OER SERVICES IMPACT GRANTS PROGRAM

For 2023, selected institutions will be awarded SUNY OER Impact Grants to support significant advances in OER adoption, scaling, and sustainability in support of student success. There are two levels of grant funding – up to $15,000 and up to $30,000. Grants will be awarded for projects such as:  

• Large-scale adoption of OER for high-enrollment courses and gateway courses with the highest drop/fail/withdrawal rates
• Departmental adoption of an OER in place of a traditional textbook for lower division course (100, 101, 102, 189, etc.)  
• Creation of OER, such as open textbooks, adaptive courses, and ancillary materials  
• Professional development supporting OER and open pedagogy 

All proposals must be submitted by 11:59 PM May 5, 2023. Winners will be announced May 30, 2023 with a tentatively scheduled virtual kickoff meeting with grantees on June 2, 2023.
