> *THE LIFE CYCLE OF A SUCCESSFUL GRANT-FUNDED PROJECT *
>
> * *
>
> *Step 1: * Develop your idea and gather background information related
> to your project. Demonstrating your knowledge of the success or
> failure of previous programs usually is vital to obtaining grant
> funding. Be sure not to prepare an "innovative" program that reviewers
> will recognize as an established model. Many resources are available
> to aid your search for background knowledge. For example, if your
> project is focused on education, the National Center for Educational
> Statistics is a good source of information about educational trends.
> You might also want to use the ERIC Digests Database to locate
> published data on the problem addressed by your project.
>
> Also, contact others who will be involved: colleagues in your
> department and college, collaborating agencies and institutions,
> personal contacts.
>
> *Step 2: *Conduct your search for sponsors. Look for and identify
> funders who may be a good match for funding a component of your work,
> as well as funders who will support the total project.
>
> *Step 3:* Acquire guidelines, applications & forms from potential
> sponsors.
>
> *Step 4:* Make an appointment with HSU Sponsored Programs (X4189) if
> you need any assistance with interpretation of guidelines, application
> forms, budget development, and advice on requirements.
>
> *Step 5:* Write your proposal. Ask colleagues to critically review
> your drafts.
>
> *Step 6:* Obtain any special approvals needed. If the project involves
> human participants, laboratory animals, hazardous materials, or
> bio-safety agents, obtain appropriate campus approvals. (Prior
> approval for seeking donations and gifts is obtained from the Office
> for University Advancement.)
>
> *Step 7:* Complete HSU's Institutional Routing and Authorization Form
> prior to submitting your proposal to the funder you have selected.
>
> *Step 8:* Negotiation of the grant/contract award. Sponsors frequently
> offer less funding for a project than contained within proposals. The
> HSU Sponsored Programs Foundation negotiates the final grant award
> with the funding agency. In no case is a grant account established
> until the Foundation accepts the terms and conditions of the offered
> grant award.
>
> *Step 9:* Obtain a grant account number. The Foundation establishes
> grant accounts upon receipt of written notification of grant or
> contract awards from sponsoring agencies.
>
> *Step 10:* Oversee the programmatic aspects of the sponsored project.
> Set up a calendar for deliverables or milestone completion dates in
> your project work plan.
>
> *Step 11:* Maintain contact with your grant program officer. Keep them
> apprised of your progress. Communicate with them in advance if the
> project requires changes or budget amendments. Notify her/him if your
> project receives recognition or positive publicity and always
>
> *Step 12:* File any interim and final reports required by the terms
> and conditions of the award. One copy of any required final program
> report should be submitted to the HSU Sponsored Programs Foundation,
> Siemens Hall 210.
