Awards may be made at one of two levels:
• For the open, core courseware challenge, awards will be made at up to $750,000, for periods not to exceed 15 months (with the option of a six‐month no‐cost extension, subject to approval by EDUCAUSE). Follow‐on awards, totaling up to an additional $5,000,000, may be made to one or more grantees from this wave demonstrating particular effectiveness in scaling the development and adoption of open core courseware.
• For the other three challenge areas, awards will be made up to $250,000 for periods not to exceed 15 months (with the option of a six‐month no‐cost extension). There is a possibility that projects demonstrating particular effectiveness and scaling will receive additional funds in a future wave of funding.
