PALSave: Spring Redesign Grants & Creation Grants reminder

Redesign grant applications are currently open for winter, spring, and summer 2023 courses. These grants are to assist faculty financially with the work that goes into converting a course from a traditionally published textbook to a zero-cost option. “Zero-cost” can mean an open textbook, a library e-book, or a combination of compiled resources, as long as the textbook costs are free to students.

*note* PALSave has changed the eligibility requirements. Professors can now apply each semester to redesign a course around a zero-cost text!

The application is available on the PALSave website, with acceptance notices being sent out weekly.

2023-2024 $500 Redesign Grants
Applications for redesign grants for next academic year will open in January.

In October, the Call for Proposals for the next round of creation grants was announced. These grants offer funding of up to $6,500 per project ($5,000 per individual) to author an open textbook. PALSave is able to fund up to seven additional textbooks during this next round of Creation Grants.

Applications are due January 15, 2023, and notifications of acceptance will be sent March 1, 2023. Interested faculty should review and follow the instructions in the Call for Proposals document and send their completed proposal and CV to palsave@palni.edu by the deadline. A list of previous Creation Grant awardees is available on the PALSave website.

If you have questions about any of the above, please contact Amanda Hurford (amanda@palni.edu) or palsave@palni.edu.
