Grants Office

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.

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.
Rose State College follows a standardized process for developing and submitting grant applications to ensure institutional coordination, compliance, and alignment with college priorities.
 
The Pre-Award process includes opportunity review, internal routing, budget evaluation, and required approvals prior to official submission. The Grants Office partners with faculty and staff to support proposal development and sponsor requirements.
 
Following a grant award, project activity is coordinated through the Grants Office to ensure compliance with sponsor requirements and institutional policies.
 
Post-Award oversight includes budget monitoring, reporting review, documentation management, and required approvals prior to sponsor submission. The Grants Office supports responsible stewardship of awarded funds.
 

To promote transparency and celebrate institutional achievement, the Grants Office maintains a portfolio of externally funded projects awarded to Rose State College.

The Grants Portfolio reflects active federal, state, and private foundation grants currently supporting academic programs, workforce initiatives, student success efforts, and community partnerships.
