Grant Proposal Working Session

The CSU Grant Proposal Working Session (held on November 13, 2008) sought to provide support to the service-learning leaders of our 23 campuses with dedicated time and resources to become informed about external funding opportunities and the resources available to help search for additional opportunities. In collaboration with needs identified by campus offices and office strategic plans, federal and private grants were identified, and program officers from federal agencies shared information on three specific grant initiatives. The Chancellor's Office will continue to provide support to these leaders throughout the creation and submission process for one grant proposal selected by participants. This is a Surdna Year Two activity.

Below are several resources that were shared during the working session.
