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.
