This is an important project, led by my team in the Taylor Institute (go, Ykje and Samara!). We're all looking forward to seeing what the grant recipients come up with this year.
OER grants fall under two streams: "adopt and adapt" and "create." The former category consists of projects in which grant-holders redevelop existing materials for their OERs, whereas the latter involves the inception of an OER from the foundation up.
The OER Pilot has invited instructors to submit project proposals. In the adopt and adapt model, accepted projects are funded to allow for two undergraduate student researchers to apply two to three online resources with course- and lesson-based outcomes. At the same time, instructors employ graduate students to peer review resources for their project courses. Finally, faculty selects and decides on the most appropriate resource.
