Faculty who wish to apply for an institutional grant should carefully read the document, How to Apply for an Institutional Grant (Word). Faculty and staff who are considering applying for either a private or government grant should first submit the Grant Intent Submission Form (Word). This form should be submitted at the beginning of the grant writing process. Once the intent form has been approved, you can begin work on the actual proposal. Assistance with the entire grant proposal process is available. For private grants, Rolando Lavarro (rlavarro@saintpeters.edu) can be reached at (201) 761-6108. For government grants, Rebecca Conley (rconley@saintpeters.edu) can be contacted at (201) 761-6344.
Before a grant proposal can be submitted by the University for a faculty member’s project, it must obtain final approval. The Grant Proposal Approval Form (Word) should accompany the final version of the grant proposal. Once all the required signatures are obtained, the proposal can be submitted on behalf of the University.
