The College of Southern Nevada's (CSN) Grant Development Procedure is designed to promote communication and cooperation among all parties involved in grant project development, ensure funding requests correspond with college goals and priorities, and ensure CSN's accountability and compliance in Federal, State and private grant funding. The Office of Resource Development serves as the coordinating office for externally funded grant projects, and initiates, facilitates, and expedites processes and activities to obtain external funding to further the College’s mission, strategic directions and institutional priorities. This office provides leadership to faculty and staff in seeking grants through the identification of funding resources, development of project concepts, writing of grant proposals, directing processes for administrative review, and submitting grant applications for funding. Resource Development should be notified of all grant applications and awards originating from CSN's faculty and staff. All applicants are strongly encouraged to review the Grant Development Procedure and are reminded that all grant applications require prior approval by CSN's President and Vice President of Finance and Budget to use CSN facilities and/or resources in support of a grant.
