Overview:  The Funding for Results (FFR) Core Continuing Grant (CCG) program will provide funds to support qualified projects for five or more years. These grants will be awarded only rarely, and they will sustain programs that have demonstrated value to the entire university and can be supported for under ($10,000) per year. There must be evidence for the quality of the program and its relevance to FFR goals based on previous FFR support in the Implementation or University Initiative programs. In addition to evidence for the value of the program to the university, there must be compelling evidence that other sources of university funding are not available.

Goal 1:  The primary goal of the Core Continuing Grant program is to provide continuous funding for programs of demonstrated value to the entire university. The evidence for the value of the program will come from the following sources.

  • Previously successful FFR Implementation grants or University Initiatives projects.
  • Evidence that the program will be of value to the entire university, not just a particular department or college.
  • Approval of Core Continuing status by a 2/3 majority of the FFR committee.
Goal 2:  Another goal of the CCG program is to eliminate the need for successful programs meeting the strict criteria for CCG funding to be repeatedly proposed, defended, and subjected to full review. Once a program has been approved for CCG support, re-application for funding is not necessary.

Goal 3:  It is the goal of the CCG program to bring about institutionalization of very successful activities. To this end, the FFR committee will inform the university of the programs that have been approved for CCG support and formally request university support within five years of CCG approval. In addition, successful CCG programs must demonstrate that alternative university funding for the program has been seriously pursued.

Goal 4:  Because this is a Funding for Results program, it is imperative that evaluative measures of the success of the program continue to be administered and reported to the FFR committee.

Applying for and Maintaining an FFR Core Continuing Grant

Eligibility: Any full-time faculty or staff member who has been a proposer for a previously funded Implementation or University Initiative Grant may apply. The first-listed proposer will be responsible for all reporting and for budget management

Application
 

Title Page: The FFR Core Continuing Grant title page must be the first page of the proposal.
Narrative: The narrative for the FFR Core Continuing Grant proposals must be no more than one page that addresses the following issues:
A brief summary of the nature of the project and its FFR funding history.
Evidence that the program will be of value to the entire university, not just a department or a college.
An account of endeavors to achieve funding, without success, from sources other than FFR. This evidence could include (1) proposals to deans, the Provost, the President, or other university administrators; (2) proposals submitted to the Budget Review Committee or to other university committees that provide funding; or (3) proposals to external granting agencies.
Budget: The budget form for FFR Core Continuing Grants must be used.

Maintaining the Grant
 

Budget: At the end of each fiscal year the primary proposer will submit a budget summary to the FFR committee.
Evaluation: At the end of each fiscal year the primary proposer will submit a summary of the evaluative measures of the success of the program. This summary should be combined with the budget summary, which is submitted to the FFR committee.
