Frequently Asked Questions |
- Where is the Grants Development office located?
The Grants Development offices are on the fifth floor of the administration building, the Highland Business Center.
- Who does the Grant Development Office serve?
Resource Development serves all of the College’s campuses and centers (Faculty, staff, and administration) to obtain external funding through competitive grants.
- What is the grant proposal development process?
Proposal development is guided by a design team. The design team is headed by a Grants Development Writer and consists of faculty members, campus administrators and other parties who have an interest in the project. The design team provides details about the project to the Grants Development Office, which compiles the final grant application.
- What is included in the grant application?
The contents of the grant application are specified in the proposal guidelines, or RFP. Most require a proposal narrative that explains the goals of the project and how it expects to reach those goals. The application should also include a detailed budget for the project.
- May grant applications be submitted at any time?
Few grantors accept applications at any time. Most RFPs specify a deadline date when the grantor must have the completed proposal in hand in order for the application to be considered. Some agencies request that a preliminary proposal be first submitted, with a full proposal developed only on subsequent invitation.
- Can I complete a grant application on my own?
The college requires that all applications are processed through the Grants Development Office to ensure cooperation, rather than competition, between campuses and centers for grant dollars, as well as to make sure the Restricted Accounting is aware of the submission.
- How soon will I find out if a proposal will be funded?
The length of time between submission and notification varies. Some agencies take six months or longer to decide which applications will be funded.
- Does Grants Development handle the project’s budget if the grant is awarded?
The project’s budget and reports are handled by the Restricted Accounting Office, which is separate from Grants Development.
- Who is authorized to sign a proposal submitted by Austin Community College?
Only the College President, Dr. Stephen B. Kinslow, or one of his authorized proxie.
- What determines whether a grant application is pursued?
The Grants Development Office will not seek funding for a project that lacks the support of other departments within the college. In addition, the project must support one of the college's stated initiatives or master plan.
