Grant Administration

Six basic steps are required to gain approval to develop a proposal for grant funding. The process is designed to ensure all proposed projects are consistent with identified Salem Community College priorities and that they will have the institutional support and resources required for success.

1. Work with colleagues on your project team to develop a one to two page concept description and a draft budget for your proposed project.

2. Review your concept and budget materials with IRP.

3. Discuss the concept and budget with your department and any other department that might be impacted by the project. Involvement of colleagues is especially important at this stage to ensure their buy-in and their insights. 

4. Obtain relevant department head signature(s) on the "Request to Develop" form.  Be sure your concept and budget are attached. Return the approved request package to IRP.

5. IRP will then submit the request to the appropriate Dean, and if approved there, to the Executive Council for its institutional review. The Executive Council includes the Dean of Academic Affairs, Dean of Student Affairs, Dean of Administrative Services, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Director of Public Relations, and the President.

6. The Executive Council will review and provide recommendations. Formal proposal development will proceed with the Executive Council's approval.
