Eastern Oregon University Technology Grant Committee
Project Submission Procedures And Forms
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Procedure for submission of a proposal to the Technology Grant Committee.
- Review the General and Specific Requirements, the Evaluation Criteria and the Tech Fee Proposal Submission Form. If you believe you have a project that meets the proposal requirements, begin your planning.
- Before you invest a great deal of time in planning and proposal development, consult with your Chair, Dean or Vice President. Make sure it fits your departmental, college, and institutional development plans. They will have to approve your proposal before it is submitted to the Tech Fee Committee. There are two main thrusts to your planning: (a) justifying the technology you are proposing to use, and (b) explaining how it will create a new or enhanced technological capacity that is of direct benefit to students, is used directly by students, and improves and enriches the quality of student learning.
- Plan to consult with the IT department whether or not you know what equipment you want, including all the associated technology (software, wiring, networks, etc.), and the initial and ongoing costs of installation, maintenance, operation, repair, replacement, etc. The IT department will help ensure that you are proposing the right equipment, and know what it takes to install, operate and maintain it. The IT department will have to approve your proposal before it is submitted to the Tech Fee Committee.
- Complete the online Tech Fee Pre-Proposal Planning Form. This will provide the Tech Fee Committee, Information Technology Department and the Head of your Administrative Unit a brief explanation and estimated dollar amount of your proposal. The Pre-Proposal Planning Form is due by October 31, 2008.
- Complete the Tech Fee Proposal Submission Form. Bear in mind that Tech Fee proposal funds are limited, and we receive more proposal applications than we can fund. Higher priority is given to proposals which (a) provide matching funds (cash or in kind) for labor, or the purchase, maintenance, operation or replacement costs of equipment, or (b) demonstrate leverage by joint proposal funding from another source.
- You are responsible for completing the Tech Fee Proposal Submission form and obtaining necessary signatures from the appropriate chair or department head, Dean/VP and the Director of IT. Once completed and signed, the Proposal Submission Form should be delivered to Helen Moore, Information Technology Department, Inlow Hall 008 prior to 5:00pm, December 11, 2008.
