The Office of Grants and Institutional Development supports the college and its learning centers in securing external funds from public and private agencies. Emphasis is placed on securing funds to achieve priority goals and objectives identified on the college’s planning matrix.
The grants office provides services, which range from securing required institutional approval to complete, comprehensive project planning, budgeting, and proposal writing. The grants office has existing procedures for the development and submission of grant proposals. They serve to establish the timeframes, approvals needed, college commitment, and relationship of the project to the college’s planning matrix needed for the submission of a grant proposal.
It is important to note that ALL grant applications submitted by faculty, staff, or administrators must follow the same guidelines, and must be channeled through the grants office.

All grants awarded to the college are sent to the President’s office and forwarded to the grant office for processing and record keeping. The grant office ensures that grants/contracts are appropriately signed and that copies are sent to the grant accountant and project director. The director of grants must approve all agency reports and contract modifications. This includes interim and final reports, requests for budget modifications, and requests for change in the scope of the project.
