The Development Office is responsible for all proposals to corporation general headquarters and foundations that do not have established grant programs. CGM is responsible for ensuring all proposals are submitted in accordance with the requirements of the sponsor and conform to the policies of the institution and The University of Texas System Administration. Funding sources may be federal, state, local, or private. By including a proposed budget, fiscal accountability is built into the proposal. While a goal or end result is specified by the funding source, the grantee has latitude in choosing and scheduling activities.
Most grants require financial and technical reporting.
A contract is a binding agreement between two or more parties to deliver a specified service, a product, or scope of work within a given time frame. Contracts are sought and awarded on a competitive bidding basis. The entire application in final form is due three working days prior to the submission deadline. CGM has assumed the responsibility of acting as central repository for all contracts and agreements. It is the responsibility of the contract processor to ensure that CGM receives a copy of any executed contract or subsequent amendment.
