Affordable Learning Georgia, an initiative of the University System of Georgia focused on providing affordable course materials, recently released a Request for Proposals for Affordable Materials Grants. Applications are due by March 10, 2025. Three types of grants are available:

Transformation Grants support individual instructors, teams of instructors and entire departments, along with supporting professional staff, in replacing their existing commercial textbooks and materials in a specific course with no- or low-cost-to-students learning materials. The maximum award for Transformation Grants is $30,000.

Continuous Improvement Grants support projects that increase the sustainability of open educational resources through substantial revisions and the creation of new materials. The maximum award for Continuous Improvement Grants is $10,000.

Research Grants (new category) - To learn more about how implementations of open resources affect various aspects of instruction and student outcomes, new research studying the impact of open educational resources and open pedagogy also qualifies through the same funding structure as a Continuous Improvement Grant project.
