A key to clarify common acronyms
Perhaps you consider the acronyms used in discussions about CMU 2010 as simple shorthand, alphabet soup, or, in this day and age, text messaging abbreviations.
No matter what you call them, WYCIWYG.
Here’s a simple key that breaks down some of the common CMU 2010 acronyms referenced in conversations and Web-based and printed information about the university’s strategic plan.
We HTH.
RFP
Request for Proposals. Specific deadlines that are set for submission of funding requests for projects that address existing priorities and strategies as outlined in CMU 2010.
• www.planning.cmich.edu and click on “FY08 RFP – new!”
ISPC
Institutional Strategic Planning Committee. A 20-person committee made up of five priority committees, each addressing one aspect of Vision 2010. The ISPC reviews funding proposals and makes recommendations to President Michael Rao.

KPI
Key Performance Indicators. Between three and five summary measures that determine the extent to which a particular goal or priority has been met. These summary measures best describe the overall progress in each priority area. Following a preliminary KPI draft review by the ISPC, priority committees, and vice presidents, a final draft of the KPI is expected to be available in early 2007.

Again, no matter what you call the CMU 2010 acronyms, what you see is what you get.
We hope this helps.
