At the Libraries, grant-seeking activities are dispersed across many units and staff. In order to foster and support New York-based grant-seeking activity, a new Grants Steering Committee is being formed to provide coordination, build expertise, and promote resource sharing in the grant application process. The goal is to help make the most of grant opportunities that have the potential to support the Libraries’ mission and goals. The committee will be available to support grant-seekers right from the start, when they’re evaluating an opportunity.
“There are a lot of considerations involved in making the decision to submit a grant proposal,” said Scott Collard, Associate Dean for Research and Research Services. “Is the project a good fit with the sponsor’s program area? Is it a priority for us? Do we have the required resources and capacity to successfully complete the project? The committee can help with decision making and be supportive throughout the grant application process, which can be very complicated.”
