Via Michael Feldstein’s e-Literate blog, friend of Kuali Student and Kuali Days VIII session moderator Jim Farmer takes a look back at the positive impact of Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Research in Information Technology (RIT) program, including its influence on Sakai and Kuali.
The Kuali Foundation Board has commented on the recent changes at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation with the merger of its Research in Information Technology (RIT) program into the Scholarly Communications program (to be renamed).
From the Kuali Student perspective, the changes at the Mellon Foundation will have no impact on the project. The original $2.5 million grant provided to the project has been fully received. Furthermore, Kuali Student is designed to be financially self-sustainable with seven institutions committing $5 million each. Kuali Student also will be seeking to expand partnerships with other institutions as critical milestones are reached.
In continued support of Kuali, Mellon Foundation awarded a $2.38 million grant on Monday to Indiana University to lead Kuali OLE (Open Library Environment) project, a partnership of research libraries dedicated to managing increasingly digital resources and collections.
