Policies and Procedures
Approvals Required for External Funding Requests

All requests for funding to support projects, programs, research, scholarships or other activities of the University of Northern Iowa must be made through either the Development Office or the Graduate College Office.

All annual fund-raising drives (such as department phone-a-thons; direct mail solicitations; or local business fund-drives) must be placed on the University's fund-raising calendar. Contact Vicki Collum, Development Office (273-6078.)

All requests for external support that obligate the University to share resources (e.g., faculty time, facilities, services, graduate assistants, purchase of items, etc.) must be approved by those authorized to allocate them (Department Heads, Deans, etc.). It is suggested that faculty discuss their grant projects with their department heads well before the submission deadline.

The Development Office and the Graduate College Office will assist faculty and staff in obtaining the approvals needed for their grant requests.
