| Initiative Title | Hire professional consultant to assist with highly competitive federal grant applications |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2017 |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The consultant critiques and direct improvements on all components of grant development. Federal grants are often awarded on a fraction of a point scoring difference, so near perfection is necessary to achieve funding. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Nearly all successful grants for these highly competitive grants use a consultant to improve their submission. Because the grant awards are often determined on a fraction of a single point, we would be unlikely to win a grant without such assistance. |
| Department Goals | Along with faculty and staff, develop proposals for grant opportunities during the year as approved by college administrators. |

|
The grant proposal will be developed to support and advance the strategic priorities of the College. |
|
Securing this consultant funding will increase the College's chances to win a grant award. |
|
Developing a grant proposal, and successfully receiving an award increases the funding available to the college. Both grant projects identified to use a consultant would increase revenue by more than a million dollars from federal sources. |
