OER Project Grant Opportunity

OSPI’s K-12 OER Project Grant targets the development of openly licensed instructional materials that educators may freely adapt and share. This project targets content areas currently lacking in standards-aligned OER and/or resources designed for delivery in a blended or hybrid learning environment. Health/PE projects are strongly recommended.

This competitive grant opportunity for 2021-2022 will open on May 15 in the new Education Grants Management System replacing iGrants.

Review the grant announcement that has all the information about the opportunity and plan your submission.
