Teaching & Extension Use Requests

Teaching Use Applications apply to college courses, extension workshops, and K-12 visits.

• Contact the Associate Director to discuss your interest in using OSBS before submitting a new teaching application.
• A Project Portal account will need to be established before an application can be started/submitted.
• Returning courses. When your course application is approved, you will NOT need to resubmit a new application for future visits. Returning instructors can update their teaching use permit for their approved course in the Project Portal with new visit dates, classroom use, resources, and instructor support.
• Faculty are required to complete an application for student class projects.

Project Portal

Applications are submitted through our Project Portal and will require you to establish a portal account first. Only the named registered user of an account is permitted to submit applications or request data sets. Your Portal account will allow you to submit use applications (Research, Education, or Special Use), manage your projects, courses, and requesting of data sets. Once the account is approved, you will be notified regarding starting submission of your application.
