Small investments can make big ideas possible! That’s the premise behind the grant programs administered by the Ohio Five, which promote collaboration among our members by funding project grants in key areas identified by our consortium or our funders. Our current grant programs include:
Ohio Five Collaborative Grants Program
Established in 2020, the Ohio Five Collaborative Grants program provides one-year grants of up to $5,000 for Ohio Five faculty members, staff, and/or administrators to collaborate on projects to solve problems and address new ideas. We anticipate disbursing up to $50,000 in support of collaborative projects involving participants at two or more colleges that:
- Foster collaborative scholarship and academic innovation at Ohio Five institutions
- Address changing student needs in the classroom and in their campus communities
- Improve our five colleges’ competitive advantage in admissions and faculty recruitment and retention
- Realize cost savings and cost avoidance at Ohio Five institutions through collaboration
The Ohio Five Collaborative Grants Program will offer two dockets for proposers to submit requests for collaborative grant funding in the 2022-23 academic year.

CODEX Microgrants
CODEX, the Collaborative for Digital Engagement and Experience, is a multi-year curricular initiative supporting the development of collaborative pedagogical approaches that foster critical engagement with and through digital technologies. Funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, CODEX sponsors an annual summer institute that brings together teams of faculty members, librarians, instructional technologists and students to design or redesign courses and co-curricular projects. Microgrants offer continuing support for these courses’ development as teams prepare them for integration into their home colleges’ curricula.
