Open Educational Resources Grant Initiative

As of August 24, 2026, the KU Libraries' OER Grant Initiative has temporarily discontinued taking applications so we may place our emphasis on the Deans OER Grant Initiative which focuses on the adoption of OER in high impact, high enrollment course with high textbook costs. 

We will continue to support OER adoption, adaptation and creation through other initiatives and platforms including the Pressbooks network, Creative Commons consultations, resources from the Open Education Network, OpenStax and Open Education Week programming.

If you have questions about OER, these programs or other support at KU Libraries, please reach out to oer@ku.edu or Heather L. Mac Bean, Open Education Librarian.

When the Libraries OER Grant Initiative resumes taking applications, an announcement will be made through the usual KU communication outlets.
