Open Educational Resource or Textbook Grant: Two grants of up to $6000

•  the development of a new open educational resource or textbook on a topic that is currently not covered by an existing open resource or textbook 

 Open Textbook Adaptation Grant: up to $4,000

•  the adaptation of one or more open textbooks to create a new version or edition of an open textbook (i.e. a Canadian edition of an existing open textbook)

 Supplementary Resources Grant: up to $2,000

• the creation of ancillary materials for existing open textbooks, including, but not limited to test banks, slide decks, or interactive media, etc.

Applications that support first-year courses will be given priority as they reach the largest number of students, but all applications will be reviewed and considered. The deadline for applications is Friday, Dec. 15, 2023, with work expected to begin during Spring or Summer 2024.
