Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
The process for the submission of grant proposals is indicated in the college’s Administrative Policy dedicated to grants development.
The most recent version of the Grant Concept Form is located here.
For a simple grant, you should notify the Office at least 30 days (preferably 45 days) prior to the deadline for submission. For a complex grant, such as a federal grant or a grant with subrecipients and/or multiple external partners, you should notify the Office at least 45 days (preferably 60 days) prior to the deadline for submission. Ideally, this notification will occur after you have discussed the proposal with your area dean or supervisor and the area vice president.
The Office of Advancement is located in E101 on the main campus of Hartnell College.
A public grant is the transfer of taxpayer money or property from a sponsor to an institution. A private grant or gift is the voluntary transfer of non-tax dollars or government property from a private donor to an institution. For a more involved response to this question, please see Administrative Procedure 3280.
The Office can assist with budget development, as well as with the development of a budget justification. However, the Executive Director of Fiscal Services will provide complete support in the development of the grant budget.
