1. Align all grant applications with the college's integrated institutional plans, strategic plan, institutional/department goals, and mission
statement
All grants submitted were aligned with institutional plans (revised grant development proposal approval form to include certification that
grant idea/need is included in unit program review)
2. Improve communication with the faculty (Academic Senate) in the development of district-wise grant applications and the components and
overall impact the grant will have on the institution
Academic Senate Committee members are included on correspondence regarding all federal grant opportunities
3. Increase the number of grants submitted to private foundations in collaboration with the MSJC Foundation to support academic programs,
support services and student success
Software was not purchased and change in Foundation staffing did not permit for this goal to be achieved
4. Finalize a federally negotiated indirect cost rate in collaboration with Business Services
In progress
In 2011 the Grants Office was transformed into the Planning & Institutional
Effectiveness/Grants Office to account for the additional responsibility for grant
development and management, planning, assessment, and institutional effectiveness.
In 2011 the District was awarded a 4.6 million dollar STEM grant. The Associate
Dean of Institutional Effectiveness serves as the project director for the grant which
requires regular coordination and oversight of grant activities, as well as budgeting
and reporting responsibilities.
Yes, on-going budget concerns have impacted the district as a whole. Due to
significant budget cuts at the State level, MSJC Administration has implemented a
hiring frost. Many vacant positions remain unfilled, administrators are being
asked to wear multiple hats attempting to carry the workload for more than one
division, and there have been no additional full-time faculty hired in the past 2-3
years. These challenges have resulted in limited staff resources needed to seek
and support additional grant funding.
