Material Detail

This resource provides an example of a successful attempt to apply for grant funding by Opern Oregon. It can serve as a model for others.

The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) Open Textbooks Pilot Program call for proposals in Fall 2020 included requirements that proposals expand the use of open textbooks in high-enrollment courses or in programs that lead to in-demand occupations, while addressing a gap in the existing open textbook marketplace. The proposals also had to demonstrate significance through replicability. Open Oregon Educational Resources is sharing parts of our grant proposal because we believe that our data-driven approach to identifying high-enrollment degree pathways that lead to in-demand occupations, with minimal OER currently available, is replicable for future grant writers seeking federal OER funding.
