PALNI Innovation GrantGrant Overview: OER Database for Class Activities with AI

The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) awarded Butler University a grant to facilitate the creation of a collection of instructional activities and assignments that use generative AI. If you are a faculty member at a PALNI institution, we welcome you to participate in this project.

Primary Goal

The goal of the grant is to develop an open repository of peer-reviewed generative AI class activities. Faculty will be able to search for ideas on how to use AI in their discipline or adapt inspiring ideas to fit their context.

Eligibility

To participate in the grant, you must have faculty status at one of the 24 institutions in PALNI.

If you do not meet these qualifications, you are welcome to submit activities to be included in the OER repository; however, you will not be eligible for a stipend.

Stipends

You will be eligible for a stipend if you submit a first draft of an AI class activity by the following deadlines:

by October 27, 2023	$200
by December 22, 2023	$150
by February 23, 2024	$100

If revisions to the first draft are needed, you must also meet the revision deadline.

Note that we are required to include Fringe Benefits & Payroll taxes for all individuals paid through Butler’s Payroll office, i.e., full-time Butler faculty paid during the academic year. See the table below for the stipend breakdown for Butler faculty.
