Textbook Transformation Grants Round Four: Grantees and Documents
The Round Four Request for Proposals (RFP) offered grant awards to be made to support adoption, adaptation, and creation of no-or low-cost learning materials in USG courses in three categories: No-Cost-to-Students Learning Materials, OpenStax Textbooks, and Specific Top 50 Courses (which had not been implemented before within eCore or a Textbook Transformation Grant).
There were two tiers of funding: one for single sections and courses, and one for multi-section/multi-course projects. All USG institutions, libraries, and faculty were eligible and encouraged to submit proposals. An online information forum was held on August 12, 2015. The deadline for submission for all projects was September 7, 2015.
The Georgia Institute of Technology’s Center for 21st Century Universities (C21U) managed the review process with ALG, using the CompetitionSpace platform for applications and reviews. ALG worked with a team of experienced grant reviewers who evaluated the projects in a blind process. Proposing teams were notified of the review committee’s decision on September 28, 2015.
45 proposals were received from 19 USG institutions. Of these, 25 proposals from 16 USG institutions were awarded grants.
