College Policies: We work to ensure that externally funded projects advance faculty scholarship, support curricular or programmatic initiatives, and meet institutional priorities while adhering to sponsor and College policies.  Policies are under development that will facilitate that work.  Please visit this site regularly for links to the most recent policies and forms relevant to seeking external funding.
