Grants & Contributions
 
Grant Proposal Information

Proposals are completed by the Conference Chair, who normally acts as the Principal Investigator. You are encouraged to contact granting agencies at least one year prior to submission to confirm deadlines, acceptance (can be mandatory), funding range and stipulations. GRC must review and submit all Federal proposals. In addition, we strongly advise that all non-federal proposals also be reviewed by GRC. GRC should always be listed as the Awardee Organization; we will work with you to keep the funding usage as broad as possible, provide templates, verify organization information and review proposal components.

Proposals must be forwarded to GRC electronically for review at least four weeks prior to the agency's deadline.

New in 2005: As part of the President's Management Agenda and related E-Government Strategy, Federal grant-making agencies were charged with developing a single electronic system to find and apply for Federal grant opportunities. Grants.gov is the Federal wide system developed to allow organizations to electronically find grant opportunities offered by the 26 Federal Grant making agencies.

VERY IMPORTANT: Review the grant opportunity to determine if your proposal must be completed on a Grants.gov application. Grants.gov utilizes PureEdge software for application completion. You must download the PureEdge Viewer to open application forms and instructions (go to Grants.gov for more information). Non-windows users will also have to follow the instructions on how to utilize a Citrix Server or emulation software. Grants.gov applications can be downloaded, completed offline and e-mailed to GRC for review.

100% of your awarded grant is credited to your conference budget - GRC charges no overhead for the administration of grants.

Please follow the links specified for the agencies detailed below to obtain application components and instructions. Email the completed application/proposal to your GRC Grants Coordinator for review and submission. Additional agency-specific instructions are noted below.
