VIVA OPEN GRANTS

$2,000

Call for Proposals announced each Fall

VIVA Open Adopt Grants provide awards of $2,000 to individual instructors to support the time it takes to integrate existing open or no-cost materials into a syllabus, and to ensure that the results of those efforts are widely available to Virginia educators. While the committee has a stated preference for funding the adoption of OER funded by VIVA, they recognize that those projects are limited in number and applications for the adoption of other materials are welcomed.

The goal of the VIVA Open Course Grants is to make textbook and course materials free to students by empowering faculty with the resources and time they need to develop their curricula using open, library, or no cost resources. Awards will be made in the following categories: Content Creation, Open Pedagogy, Open Ancillary, and Large Scale Adoption.

The VIVA Open Rapid Publishing Program provides infrastructure and support for the creation of OER which fill a gap in an area of high need for Virginia higher education. The program aims to fill these OER gaps on an accelerated timeline, with resources completed approximately 1 year after the team is assembled. Once a need has been identified, VIVA assembles a multi-institutional team and provides infrastructure for rapid authorship, publishing support, and outreach and adopt grants for completed projects.

Projects topics may be suggested or projects may be recommended for consideration from those submitted to the VIVA Open Course Grants, Content Creation category.
