Location
The Fitchburg State College Grant Center, located
on the first floor of the Conlon Building, Room 220, is open Monday
through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Grant Center is staffed
by Karen Frank Mays, Grants Development Coordinator and Shirley
Goldsby, Secretary.
Purpose
The Center is responsible for the identification
and procurement of federal, state, and other external funding
to supplement existing academic resources and to enhance program
development and research at the College. Faculty and departments
will be notified of appropriate, potential funding sources through
campus mailings, newsletters, phone calls, and/or email.
Faculty are encouraged to visit the Grant Center
to discuss an idea needing funding or information on funding sources.
The Grant Center should be notified and made aware of possible
ideas for funding. In general, all information requests to funding
sources should go through the Center. Grant writing is a team
effort. The Grant Center will assist at every step, but in most
cases should not be considered the sole proposal writer.
Resources
The Grant Center has extensive resources on grantmanship
from directories to newsletters to Internet websites. Please refer
to a complete list of resources available in the Grant Center
or through the FSC Grant Center website.
Please feel free to drop by or call during the hours
listed above. In addition, inquiries can be sent via email to
kfrankmays@fsc.edu or
sgoldsby@fsc.edu.
