Government and Foundation Relations

OGFR

Welcome to the Office of Government and Foundation Relations website. The mission of the Office of Government and Foundation Relations is to coordinate and facilitate all aspects of public and private sponsored activities and maintain continuous interaction with federal, state and local government entities in advancing the governmental agenda of the College. To this end, the Office will:

  1. Provide pre- and post-award grant services to faculty submitting grant applications to external funding agencies in an effort to strengthen and augment scholarly and research efforts across all academic  disciplines;
  2. Work closely with the President and senior administration to generate state and federal revenues for the College;
  3. Provide assistance to administration and faculty in working through the legislative process.
  4. Participate in higher education policy discussions at the federal, state, and local levels; and
  5. Cultivate, strengthen and coordinate all foundation relations matters in advancing the academic priorities of the College.

As you browse the web site, you will find links to federal, state, and private funding agencies, tutorial links which provide practical help on proposal writing, and downloadable copies of grant proposal forms and application kits.  OGFR also oversees the human subject  research review process.

If any faculty or staff member is planning a research project and is seeking external financial support, you should contact the Alfredo MedinaOGFR Director as early as possible to ensure proper submission of the proposal.  Anyone planning to submit a grant proposal for funding is required to contact OGFR at least ten (10) days prior to the submission deadline.
