Sponsored Projects
Welcome to the Sponsored Projects Office!
Staff of the Sponsored Projects Office find and disseminate funding opportunities,
coordinate the development of grant proposals, and collaborate with faculty and staff
on research such as gathering information about agency backgrounds and funding histories.
We invite all faculty and staff of Santa Fe College to become a Project Developer and get involved with securing grants to help support your educational objectives. Private, state and federal funds are available for a wide range of programs and projects, and we are here to help you develop your ideas, navigate the technical aspects of writing a winning proposal, and deal with the intricacies of grant management.
The Sponsored Projects Office in the Office for Advancement is your portal to the world of outside funding. We will link you, as a Project Developer, to the other helpful Santa Fe College departments and institutional resources that will assist you with preparing a budget, organizing and managing your project, submitting reports, and keeping you on track.
This is part of your tool-kit, an essential guide to successful grant development. The possibilities are endless. We are ready and willing to help you tap into outside funding that will enhance SF student learning and services. All grant proposals must go through the sponsored projects office, so contact us with your Preliminary Grant Project Proposal and start the process.
