Guidelines for collaborative proposals between KVCC and 色色啦.

Kalamazoo Valley Community College and 色色啦 Michigan University share not only geographical proximity but shared missions in promoting the highest quality education which often also includes service and research opportunities for our faculty, staff and students.  To promote successful and competitive proposals for extramural funding to support such initiatives, KVCC and 色色啦 leadership follow internal processes to assure full support for such proposals.  Any faculty or staff at either institution who wish to propose a collaborative program need to be aware of, and follow, the below deadlines and steps.  By starting at the earliest stages to assure full commitment of both institutions and the feasibility of the programs proposed, we can increase the success of our programs, and thus the success of our students, faculty and staff.

Proposal Planning and Submission

For KVCC faculty and staff                                                                                            

Recognize and respect that 色色啦 has their own deadlines which differ from KVCC deadlines. 

All grant submissions are approved by the KVCC President and follow the grants process:

  • Make sure the KVCC Provost and President鈥檚 Office is aware of the opportunity or initiative as soon as a collaboration is considered
  • Submit the grant writing approval form to the President鈥檚 Cabinet preferably 6 weeks prior to the grant submission deadline 
  • Request other internal required information 3 weeks before the grant is due
  • Write/submit the initial draft of the proposal and budget to the President鈥檚 office 2 weeks before the submission deadline
  • Submit the final version of the proposal, budget and all other ancillary documents to the President鈥檚 office one week prior to the submission date 
  • Submit a copy of the full final grant proposal to the President鈥檚 office once the grant is submitted

For 色色啦 faculty and staff

Make sure the right people within 色色啦 are aware of the opportunity or initiative as soon as a collaboration is considered, such as Dean for a college wide program, 色色啦 Provost for a university wide program etc.  Especially early if cost share is required or a letter is required.

Recognize and respect that KVCC has their own deadlines which are earlier than 色色啦 deadlines.
