About the Grant Program - IITG About the SUNY OER Impact and Innovative Instruction Technology Grants The State University of New York (SUNY) administers a combined grant program that supports academic innovation, instructional technology, and the sustained use of Open Educational Resources (OER).
The Innovative Instruction Technology Grant (IITG) program has promoted research and fostered understanding of how new technologies support academic excellence and student success. Additionally, since 2017, New York State has provided $4 million annually to SUNY OER Services to support OER adoption, creation, and scaling across the SUNY system—helping students and families save more than $105. 7 million through Fall 2024.
