Overview
OpenStax at Rice University seeks to create a national student internship program to amplify student voices and stories about open education. These internships will deepen the diversity, equity, and inclusion of student perspectives in national conversations about open education, while creating the organizational capacity at OpenStax to grow and develop best practices for running a student-centered program. Bringing student voices, views, and ideas to the forefront of the education community’s decision-making process is critical to improving educational access and learning for students.

Grants to this Grantee
for building the field for partnership research
The National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships at Rice University is a professional learning community supporting collaboration among researchers and practitioners working in education. The group will work with Stanford University; the University of Colorado, Boulder; and the National Center for Research in Policy and Practice to build capacity in the field for partnership research. The goal is to make educational research more useful and impactful and ultimately to support equitable outcomes in education. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
for creating free open community college textbooks
We propose a renewal grant to the OpenStax project at Rice University to continue developing market-quality, peer-reviewed open textbooks. This large-scale effort, co-funded by the Michelson, Gates, Arnold, and Maxfield foundations, would provide market-quality open textbooks for the twenty-five community college courses in highest demand. In addition, OpenStax is partnering with a number of for-profit companies for distribution. This renewal would support Phase 3 of the project, building the next ten textbooks for a total of twenty open textbooks covering twenty-five semesters of material.
