At PVCC, the Grants Office staff is available to help faculty and staff:
- Visualize and develop new projects and programs.
- Match these ideas to funding opportunities.
- Create a written proposal that effectively conveys the case for support.
- Assemble a comprehensive proposal package that is compliant with College policy and the grantor's regulations and requirements.
Once you have an initial project idea, contact the Grants Office early to learn how to develop your idea into a viable project that can be funded.
