Grants Office

This page is currently under construction; updated guidance and forms are in development and will be available soon.

The Rose State College Grants Office supports faculty, staff, and administrators in developing, submitting, and managing externally funded projects. Established as a standalone office, the Grants Office ensures all sponsored projects align with institutional goals, meet compliance standards, and contribute to student and community success.

We provide start-to-finish support across the grant lifecycle while fostering collaboration among departments and external partners.

Whether you’re new to grants or an experienced project director, the Grants Office is here to help you every step of the way.

The Grants Office provides comprehensive support to faculty, staff, and administrators throughout the entire grant lifecycle — from idea development to project closeout. Our goal is to ensure that every sponsored project aligns with institutional priorities, complies with funding requirements, and contributes to the success of Rose State College.

The Grants Office supports the campus community by:

  • Identifying funding opportunities that advance College and departmental priorities.
  • Guiding proposal development, including narrative drafting and budget preparation.
  • Reviewing and approving all institutional grant submissions.
  • Coordinating compliance and reporting with funding agency requirements.
  • Supporting post-award management, monitoring, and closeout of funded projects.

To promote transparency and awareness of college-sponsored activity, the Grants Office maintains a portfolio of current and emerging projects.

  • Current Awards – Active grants supporting Rose State College programs and initiatives.
  • Pending Proposals – Submissions under review by funding agencies.
  • Future Opportunities – Potential areas identified for proposal development.

All grant activity at Rose State College follows a standardized process to ensure consistency, compliance, and coordination across all divisions and departments.

The process for initiating a grant proposal at Rose State College is standardized across all divisions and departments, whether the proposal is submitted directly through the College or on behalf of the College through the Rose State College Foundation. These procedures ensure institutional coordination, compliance, and alignment with College priorities.

The policies and procedures for the Grants Office are currently in development and will be made available within the official Rose State College Policies and Procedures Manual. Until publication, all grant-related activities must comply with the Rose State College Policies and Procedures Manual and all applicable sponsor guidelines.

All sponsored project activity must be coordinated through the Grants Office for institutional review and approval prior to external submission. Each form listed below must be submitted electronically to ensure compliance, budget accuracy, and alignment with Rose State College priorities.

Travel Process and Guidelines

Rose State College has established standardized travel processes to ensure consistent reporting, accountability, and compliance across campus. For all grant-funded travel, faculty/staff must indicate “grant-related” on the DocuSign travel request form and attach supporting documentation. The Grants Office will review the request and schedule a meeting with the traveler to confirm how the event aligns with the grant’s objectives and benefits the College prior to final approval.

Post-Travel Reporting

After attending a conference or event:

  1. Complete the Executive Summary Questionnaire within DocuSign, highlighting your experience and key takeaways from the conference.
  2. Attach required supporting documentation, including:
    • The conference agenda
    • Materials from 2–3 breakout sessions attended

The Grants Office retains these materials as part of the official grant record for institutional and sponsor reporting requirements.
