Begin by discussing your Concept Proposal with your department chair. Obtain approval to bring the project forward for consideration. Next, contact the director of grants to discuss your project and the grant requirements, and to request that the Grants Committee consider your concept proposal.

The Grants Committee reviews and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of a proposed project. The committee considers the the college’s financial commitment, ability to respond effectively to the application, and the overall potential for success. Based on the committee’s review and discussion of the grant, a decision whether or not to pursue a proposal will be made.

The Project Director/Principal Investigator is responsible for the implementation and day-to-day operation of the grant program, as well as periodic reports and evaluations to the funding agency.

The Grants Development office can assist with the compilation of information and data, in partnership with Grants Accounting, to ensure compliance.
