This is an advance notice that members of the IC campus community are invited to submit proposals for a new round of review for the New Initiatives Fund.
The fund will support initiatives from faculty, staff, and students which:
• advance some dimension of the institutional plan, and/or
• creatively address some dimension of quality improvement, and/or
• demonstrate the potential to generate new revenue on an ongoing basis after a year or two of "seed funding"
Proposals that include or address more than one division/department/school, demonstrate collaboration across campus constituencies, and/or between the College and the broader community are particularly encouraged.
Proposals will be funded for one year, except in the case of entrepreneurial ventures or pilot ventures where a two-year time frame may be advisable. PLEASE NOTE: ongoing personnel and large capital equipment are NOT available for consideration.
Proposal forms and additional information will be made available shortly, with a deadline of March 1, 2008. Please contact Michael McGreevey (mmcgreevey@ithaca.edu) in the Office of the President with questions.
