Grant Coordinators
Grant Coordination at ISU
Grant Coordination is a crucial component of ISU's grantsmanship support system. The current system of grant coordinators is working well in most units. The following remarks describe grant coordination at ISU and detail the functions and training opportunities.
- Each department, center/institute, college and central office that is eligible to submit grant proposals has a point person for grant coordination, commonly referred to as "grant coordinator".
- "Grant coordination" is not a position, but a function, i.e. it is part of some (or several) staff member's position responsibility. The grant coordinator may fulfill all of the required functions, or he/she may distribute some of the functions to other staff members.
- Units can share a grant coordinator and the coordination function, but each unit informs their faculty/staff about the function of grant coordination and designates a person who acts as grant coordinator.
- Each unit is responsible for allowing its grant coordinator and others involved in grant coordination to participate in the necessary training, both on- and off-campus.
