Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Maryland's Educational Material Expansion Grants
The Grants to Institutions for The Expansion of Educational Material program, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to support projects at eligible institutions of higher education in Maryland that create books and expand the use of material in high-enrollment courses. The primary target outcomes for Maryland institutions are to increase the availability of high-quality educational materials, enhance student success, and improve educational outcomes, particularly in high-demand fields such as STEM and healthcare.
The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) plays a crucial role in overseeing the state's higher education landscape and identifying areas of need. According to MHEC, Maryland's institutions of higher education have seen significant growth in STEM fields, with enrollment in these programs increasing by 15% over the past five years. By focusing on the development of educational materials in these areas, the grant program can help support the state's economic development goals and address the growing demand for skilled workers in these fields.
One of the key geographic features that distinguishes Maryland is its proximity to Washington D.C. and the resulting academic and research collaborations between institutions in the two jurisdictions. Many Maryland institutions have established partnerships with their counterparts in Washington D.C., creating opportunities for students to engage in research and academic projects that span state lines. For example, the University of Maryland, College Park, has a long-standing partnership with George Washington University, and collaborations like these can be leveraged to expand the reach and impact of educational materials developed through this grant program.
Measuring Success in Maryland
To measure the success of the Grants to Institutions for The Expansion of Educational Material program in Maryland, the funder will be looking for outcomes such as increased adoption rates of newly developed educational materials, improved student outcomes in courses that utilize these materials, and enhanced collaboration between institutions and industry partners. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, which administers various grant programs for community development and housing, may also be able to provide insights into how these educational materials can be used to support broader community development goals.
For instance, Prince George's County, which has seen significant investment in community development initiatives, may be an ideal location for piloting new educational materials that focus on topics such as affordable housing, community land trusts, and community development finance. By aligning the grant program's outcomes with the needs and priorities of local communities, Maryland institutions can maximize the impact of their projects and contribute to the state's overall economic development goals.
In Montgomery County, MD, where there is a high concentration of institutions of higher education, grant recipients can leverage the county's existing infrastructure and resources to support the development and dissemination of educational materials. For example, the Montgomery College, a community college with multiple campuses throughout the county, has a strong focus on workforce development and may be well-positioned to develop educational materials that address the needs of local employers.
