SUNY Academic Innovation Grants

SUNY is pleased to announce the SUNY Academic Innovation Grants (IITG and OER Impact) will return for 2027–2028, with more than $1 million in funding available!

This year’s priorities focus on AI, openness, accessibility, and collaboration, with an emphasis on:

• Student success in an AI-enabled world
• Accessible, open, and equitable learning
• Scaling innovation across SUNY

Get Started:

• Share your project idea and connect with potential collaborators.
• Explore the Idea Sharing Gallery to see what others are considering and find opportunities to collaborate.
• Join an Idea Exchange Session in December 2026 (dates TBD) to discuss and refine your project idea.
• Visit the grant website for application resources, important dates, and FAQs.
• Consider serving as a grant reviewer. We are seeking many volunteers to help review applications.
