How does the Research Grant Committee go about reviewing the grant proposals?
The Research Grant Committee consists of two subcommittees, which consider grant requests from colleges other than their own. Committee members receive the proposals by mail, review and rate them individually, then share their opinions with their subcommittee members. This may be accomplished through a combination of activities, often including E-mail, conference calls, and meetings. The director of professional development may participate in meetings and teleconferences to answer questions and/or provide necessary assistance. Efforts are made to ensure confidentiality and equity.
