External Grants

Communication across several campus offices is necessary when applying for and accepting external grants through the University (i.e. not personal grants). Faculty Services collaborates with these offices on your behalf. There are two linear steps in the process. Applications may be submitted anytime after the first step. You may request approval from Cabinet at any point within the application process, but you must complete this step before the University will accept any funding on your behalf.

• Before applying to any external grant, the budget must first be approved by the Provost, who works with the appropriate financial offices to ensure its feasibility. Email the completed budget to provost@asbury.edu for review.
• Before accepting funds, President’s Cabinet must approve a Grant Authorization Form. Email provost@asbury.edu to request the form. Completed Grant Authorization Forms should be returned to provost@asbury.edu for review by President’s Cabinet.

If awarded the grant, you should receive a fund disbursement form from the grantor requesting approval and information on sending payment to the University. Send this form to provost@asbury.edu for completion, review, and signatures. Faculty Services will also work with the Advancement office on the creation of new account lines, as needed, for the deposit and expenses.
