Re: Institutional Grant Policies

[Michael Scoles]

Our process and justification is given at:   http://spo.uca.edu/   The FAQs Page provides the reasons for requiring institutional review and authorization.  The most significant is that the grant is to the institution, not the individual, so the institution is responsible for managing the grant.  Also, a series of poorly written grants to funders will weaken the credibility of the institution and hamper future attempts to obtain funding.     Michael T.

As it currently stands, our administration wants faculty to complete a 3 page document including abstract, preliminary budget, and signatures from at least 4 different administrators. On top of that, one must consult with a variety of different offices across campus to complete the form in many cases. All of this is just for "Concept Approval". The entire process must be repeated for "Final Approval" at which time the grant must be written and a detailed budget included. The impression I have is that the administration can refuse to allow one to submit a/any grant for a wide variety of reasons after it has already been written. Do any of you have formalized policies in place that regulate/govern/control grant writing and grant submission activities at your institutions? Thanks for your responses.
