SUMMARY:Navigating the Current Federal Research Funding Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Registration link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2186314449623922773Webinar ID: 823-936-451 \n\n\n\nThe Federal grant funding landscape has undergone significant changes\, creating uncertainty for many researchers and academic institutions. The recent Executive Orders (EOs) signed over the last 8 months have directed agencies to implement sweeping changes to how federal discretionary funding is managed. The recent changes have led to increased scrutiny of federal grants\, terminations of existing grant programs\, and on again/off again terminations and stop-work orders on existing and new awards. This webinar will elaborate how Presidential directives and policy shifts have affected academia and specifically CUNY\, including proposed changes in indirect costs. It’s important to note that while challenges exist\, federal funding has not disappeared. Agencies are working to interpret and implement new guidance\, and some funding streams are beginning to resume and there are alternative funding sources available. We will also provide you with advice and guidance in this webinar\, and on what to do if your grant or funding program is eliminated. \n\n\n\nPresenters: Welcoming remarks by Rosemarie Wesson\, CUNY Associate Vice Chancellor and University Vice Provost for Research\, John Tsapogas\, Director of Award Pre-Proposal Support (APPS) RFCUNY\, and Kondomar Herrera\, Project Manager\, President’s Office\, RFCUNY \n\n\n\nSee the RF CUNY Award Pre-Proposal Support page for up-to-date listings in the Brown Bag Research Webinar series and for recordings and materials from past events.

SUMMARY:Call for OER Fellowship applications AY 25-26
DESCRIPTION:The Library seeks applicants for the Open Educational Resources (OER) Fellowship. Begun in 2015\, this funded program runs in conjunction with the CUNY-wide initiative funded by New York state to “engage faculty in the redesign of courses through the replacement of proprietary textbooks with open educational resources to reduce costs for students\, accelerate their progress\, and better connect curriculum and pedagogy to student learning outcomes.” Research conducted at City Tech and other institutions shows a correlation between assigning zero-cost OER and positive student outcomes: higher retention and comparable or better grades.  \n\n\n\nWe invite proposals from new and returning faculty to the OER Fellowship. Projects may be proposed at various stages of progress\, such as substantive expansions and/or revisions of existing OER. \n\n\n\nGoals for the OER initiative at City Tech: \n\n\n\n\nProvide students with long-term access to course learning materials (before\, during\, and after the course runs).\n\n\n\nSupport active learning and effective online instruction.\n\n\n\nHelp achieve curricular consistency across multiple course sections.\n\n\n\nHelp achieve coherence between sequential courses in programs.\n\n\n\nProvide instructors with ready to use teaching resources that can assist with flexible teaching/learning modalities.\n\n\n\n\nConsiderations for applying to the OER Fellowship \n\n\n\nProjects that incorporate active learning methods\, take a student-centered approach\, and address underrepresented and multidisciplinary subject areas are encouraged.  \n\n\n\nCourse selection: \n\n\n\nWe encourage prioritizing OER for courses that are gateway\, high enrollment\, part of a course sequence\, required courses for a major or minor\, pathways\, etc.\, interdisciplinary in nature\, course curriculum that is underrepresented\, or inadequately represented by existing textbooks on the market. \n\n\n\nTypes of OER projects that may be funded: \n\n\n\n\nZero-cost OER for a course that previously required a paid textbook (this may include first time experimental pilots to assign OER in place of paid course materials).\n\n\n\nZero-cost OER for a course with a recommended text that does not require paid materials.\n\n\n\nZero-cost OER for supplemental/ancillary teaching and learning materials (e.g.\, study guides\, review modules\, lessons\, discussion questions\, class activities\, lecture outlines\, writing assignments).\n\n\n\nSubstantive updates to already assigned zero-cost OER (must be openly licensed materials authored by the applicant or another scholar).\n\n\n\n\nFaculty Eligibility and OER Fellowship Requirements \n\n\n\nEligibility \n\n\n\n\nFull-time faculty that coordinate or regularly teach at least one section of a course\, and have consulted with course / discipline coordinator and department chair.\n\n\n\nPart-time faculty on 1-3 year re-appointments\, with the approval of course / discipline coordinator and department chair.\n\n\n\n\nFellowship Requirements \n\n\n\n\nActive participation in an intentional community of practice among college peers. Fellows will participate in seven mandatory synchronous zoom meetings held on Fridays throughout the year (3 in fall; 4 in spring).\n\n\n\nLearning materials created/compiled through this project must be Creative Commons licensed (CC BY\, CC BY-SA\, CC BY-NC\, CC BY-NC-SA)\, public domain\, library digital resources\, or freely available to link to without violating copyright.\n\n\n\nFinished projects must be shared publicly via an OpenLab site or other CUNY supported public platform (Pressbooks\, Manifold).\n\n\n\nProject work must be completed during the 2025-2026 academic year. All participants must complete their projects by June 15\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\nFunding Information \n\n\n\nFaculty compensation will include project work and faculty development training. Faculty will be paid for participating in 14 hours of professional development meetings (at adjunct hourly NTA rate). In addition to this\, faculty stipends for OER projects typically range from $1\,300 – $5\,000\, depending on scope of work\, and are also calculated at the average non-teaching adjunct hourly rate. \n\n\n\nApply online by Thursday\, September 18th\, 2025.  \n\n\n\nFaculty interested in proposing projects that may be outside the scope of this opportunity are encouraged to get in contact with Cailean Cooney promptly to explore whether the OER initiative can support your work this academic year.  \n\n\n\nOther questions or things you’d like to discuss? Please get in touch with OER Librarian\, Cailean Cooney (ccooney@citytech.cuny.edu) or Chief Librarian\, Junior Tidal (jtidal@citytech.cuny.edu).  \n\n\n\nVisit our website at Open Educational Resources at City Tech. \n\n\n\nDownload a PDF version of this call.
