Role
The Faculty Grants Office coordinates grant applications at ELAC, with assistance from appropriate faculty and administrators at the college. The Office is available to assist faculty and staff in:

1. Researching and identifying government, foundation, corporation and agency funding sources;
2. Developing grant proposals(for projects—not for individuals); and
3. Actively soliciting grants through various contacts and associations.

Getting Approval for a Grant
Before approaching a funding source, or requesting grant funds, you should contact the appropriate administrator to discuss the project idea. With the help of the Faculty Grants Director, we will solicit input, assistance and approval of projects—well in advance of deadlines.
Resource Materials – Guidelines, copies of model proposals, or research data relevant to the project will be gathered at the ELAC Foundation or Faculty Grants Office and made available to ad-hoc groups working on proposals. (There is no standing committee to review all grants at ELAC.)

Writing Proposals
The Faculty Grants Office will guide the principal authors through the writing process, to ensure that a competitive proposal is submitted. In some cases (but not all) the Director will be equipped to provide major portions of text and budget material for proposals.
