Researchers and Others Interested in the Oregon Mint Industry:

The RFP for the 2025-26 funding for the Oregon Mint Commission (OMC) is attached., Also attached (along with the Mint Industry Research Council/MIRC – email below) is the information on MIRC funding and application procedures. You may have received a separate email for the MIRC RFP earlier.  Due dates for both are Nov 15th.  For Oregon researchers, both OMC and MIRC proposals need to be signed up to use the OSU DocuSign system and submitted to the Ag Research Foundation.

Please note: Please read the attached Oregon Mint Commission RFP carefully for instructions on submitting proposals to the Commission.

MIRC proposals need to be sent by PIs directly to the MIRC – the OMC or ARF will not forward proposals for you.

Please share this email with others who may have interest.

Those who received 2024-25 (current year) funding will also need to file a progress report by November 15. Instruction on submission is given in the RFP.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Appointments appreciated (mask welcomed but not required) 

Please find attached a request for proposals to renovate in-person academic programs. To support the “every student graduates” goal in Prosperity Widely Shared, we will provide financial and consultative resources for units to re-envision academic programming to meet the needs of today’s learners, address technological advances and support workforce needs. We recognize that similar resources exist for Ecampus programming, and this program—the Academic Program Renovation Academy—will therefore focus on in-person programs. Please refer to the attachment for more detail or the website. Important upcoming dates:

  1. October 8, 10am webinar for Q&A
  2. October 15, Letter of Intent deadline
  3. December 15, Proposal deadline.

Please reach out to either of us with questions, and we look forward to receiving Letter of Intent and full proposals.
