Description

This lightning talk will explore the innovative use of institutional repositories to support Open Educational Resources (OER) initiatives in specialized academic health science centers. Drawing from an ongoing study at a cancer care institution, we will discuss how leveraging the institutional repository can accelerate OER development among faculty receiving National Cancer Institute (NCI) training grants. We will highlight the library's pivotal role as a facilitator in this process, emphasizing the potential of aligning federal funding with open science initiatives. Our approach combines the principles of open science with practical improvement science methodologies. Key features of our institutional repository strategy include the use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for enhanced tracking and impact measurement of individual OER for use in grant reports and future applications. By sharing insights data collection methods, faculty engagement strategies, and anticipated outcomes, we aim to present a scalable model for OER creation and dissemination that can be adapted across various academic healthcare settings, ultimately contributing to the broader open science movement.
