Alumnae of Northwestern University Award for Curriculum Development
Faculty may apply for an Alumnae of Northwestern University Award for Curriculum Development. The award is intended to support faculty work over the summer to develop innovative course materials, new courses, or new modes of teaching, including online education that will benefit our undergraduates. While the Searle Center is not involved with the award selection, we are happy to work with faculty interested in pursuing this award (consulting on course design, teaching methods and activities, assessments etc).

Affordable Instructional Resources (AIR) Initiative
Open Educational Resources (OER) Grants
The Affordable Instructional Resources (AIR) initiative invites faculty to apply for grant funding to explore the use and creation of open educational resources (OER) for undergraduate courses.
OER are free educational materials that provide faculty the freedom to adapt and distribute course materials without restrictions and at no cost to students. In addition to grant funding, librarians will be available to provide faculty with individualized curriculum and technology support for identifying, using, adapting, and publishing open educational content.
Funded by the Office of the Provost and the Libraries, these grants will support faculty who are interested in using, adapting, and remixing open access research and educational materials in order to reduce course materials costs for students and highlight the pedagogical power of OER. No experience with OER is necessary to apply. Applications are due April 15, 2019. (View more information about this grant)
