To support the development and use of Open Educational Resources at the University of Pittsburgh, the Nancy Tannery Grant for Open Educational Resources (OER) provides funding for faculty projects that will enhance the educational experiences of Pitt students and provide these faculty with the ability to customize their course materials.
Assistant Provost Nancy Tannery was the inaugural chair of the Provost’s Standing Committee on OER. She was a passionate advocate for OER and addressing student textbook financial burden at Pitt. The Nancy Tannery Grant for OER funds projects authoring, adapting, and/or adopting OER for use in University of Pittsburgh courses. This grant is funded by the Office of the Provost at Pitt.
A call for proposals for the next round of Nancy Tannery Grant for OER will be posted here in Spring 2026.
