Grants Procurement and Funding Policy

Individuals seeking external funds in the forms of grants should begin by contacting the Grants Coordinator who may direct them to complete a grant proposal form, calling for approval from the appropriate Vice President. 

1. It will be the responsibility of the appropriate Vice President: 
   1. to ensure that the purpose of the grant does not conflict with any aspect of the College’s stated purpose;
   2. to ensure that the College can safeguard its right to control its own activities based on the regulations imposed by the funding agency;
   3. to ensure that general institutional activities are not endangered by the acquisition of the grant; and
   4. to ensure that the institution does not become dependent on grant funds to support its regular operating budget.
2. Prior to submitting a proposal to the funding agency, the Grants Coordinator will circulate the final grant proposal to appropriate executive leadership for review.
3. The Grants Coordinator will coordinate all fiscal accounting for the grant with the Business Office using standard accounting practice and audited annually by the state of North Carolina. The College’s existing purchasing regulations must be followed for all supplies and equipment bought with grant funds.
4. The Grants Coordinator will work with the recipient to ensure all evaluations, follow-up, or continuation applications required by the funding agency are completed. Any changes that occur in the plan of operation after the grant is funded should be made known to the Grants Coordinator and approved by the appropriate Vice President and the Carteret Community College Foundation copied.
