The Foundation and Government Relations Office can provide prospect research assistance to College faculty and staff. For those faculty and staff wishing to perform prospect research on their own, see the following pages of links for more information: Foundations and Corporations, Government Agencies and Grant Seeking Resources. Please note that even if you do your own research you still need to touch base with the FGR staff prior to developing a proposal.

Members of the College community interested in seeking grant support must submit the Intent to Apply for External Funding Form to the FGR Office at least eight weeks in advance of the proposal deadline. This form must be approved by the President's Staff before proceeding with the proposal development process.

A signed Proposal Checklist must be submitted to the FGR Office before the proposal is submitted to an external funding agency. This checklist confirms that the proposal author's supervisor has reviewed the final draft and the Budget Director has reviewed the budget.
