C&F Grants Committee

All proposals and grant requests that will be administered through the University must be reviewed and authorized by the C&F External Grants Committee, which meets monthly during the academic year. Once your project concept has been approved, you can move forward with finalizing your grant proposal. In every case, a final draft of your proposal narrative and budget must be available for review by the C&F External Grants Committee at least two weeks prior to your proposal deadline.

Members of the C&F External Grants Committee:
William L. Fox, President
Valerie Lehr, Dean of Academic Affairs and Vice President
Michael Archibald, Vice President of Advancement
Kathryn Mullaney, Vice President of Finance
Alison Del Rossi, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs
Devon Murphy Stein, Interim Director, C&F Office
Carol Smith, Grants Manager, C&F Office

• Project Budget - estimated amount of grant support needed and how funds will be spent; include information about other sources of support you curently have for the project
• Information on Funding Source or Grant Program (if identified)
• SLU Cost Share - identify if you are requesting institutional matching funds or institutional support (e.g., IT support, student summer housing, use of facilities, summer stipend, etc.), and if so, how much.
