<p><strong>NEW: Partner with a Campus</strong></p>
<p><span>The RFP for Round 2 funding will enable campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding to apply for Round 2 funding </span><strong>IF</strong><span> they partner with a Round 1 grantee and the two campuses collectively reduce the cost of more course sections – at least double the number of course sections. Campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding can partner with a CCC or a CSU campus. The goal is to "at least double the number of course sections" with OER for CCC and CSU students.</span></p>
<p><span>Your feedback on the draft RFP will be appreciated.</span></p>
