Funding Conditions

General Conditions of Funding

Written acceptance of the award (and conditions) must be sent to Academic Affairs, 312 Warriner, prior to the deadline given in the award letter. This acceptance must also be signed by the Senior Officer or Academic Senate Chair who initially forwarded the proposal.
Annual reports must be received prior to July 1 each year of funding, beginning one year after initial funding. So, for example, for the spring round of FY07 funding, reports are due before July 1, 2007.
Continuation of CMU 2010 funding beyond the first year requires satisfactory progress on project objectives as outlined in the original proposal and further clarified in the Evaluation Summary and documented in annual reports.
Project leaders must be willing to provide information on project progress to the ISPC, and the ISPC’s Communications Committee or designated media representatives.
Project leaders must provide timely documentation of all expenditures and comply with CMU policies when making all those expenditures. Written prior approval must be obtained for expenditures that deviate from the initial project proposal. Invoices should be submitted to Academic Affairs, 312 Warriner.
If alternative funding becomes available for a project, it is expected those funds will be used and notification of the provost occur immediately so CMU 2010 funds can be reallocated.
CMU 2010 funding should be acknowledged in presentations or documents emerging from the project.
