Click on the links below for guidelines to assist colleges in planning to solicit, review, and approve applications, and to evaluate results and outcomes. The guidelines in this document are in effect for the 2007-2009 academic year.
There is an online application and reporting system available at www.mygrants.mnscu.edu. Its use is mandatory for reporting the outcomes of CFAE projects, so we recommend using the MyGrants system to apply for awards.
DATES AND FUNDING
2/26/09: Linda Baer releases memo concerning use of FY09 CFAE funds, reporting and accounting deadlines. Read the memo from the link at the bottom of this page.
Fiscal Year 2009 funds were distributed to campuses in late June, 2008. FY09 allocations were the same as FY08.
FY09 funds must be committed by June 30, 2009.
FY09 funds must be fully paid to faculty by the pay period ending August 18, 2009. Campus committees and/or managers should advise faculty to have their final reports submitted in MyGrants prior to the pay period ending August 18, 2009. We suggest communicating closely with your campus business, payroll, or finance office(s) to determine specific timelines and/or procedures.
Employer-paid portions of fringe benefits associated with each award should be calculated as part of the campus allocation. So, for example, projects totaling $100,000 may require about $120,000 in Awards for Excellence funds.
