Funding for Spring 2007 (April 30, 2007)
The Technology Fee Advisory Committee (TFAC) received five
proposals requesting a total of $1,447,412.00 in the 2007 Spring
Call for Proposals on March 1, 2007. The committee met three times.
On March 3 members met to distribute proposals and assign reviewers
to each proposal. Reviewers were to further evaluate and meet with
the author of the proposals to learn more about the proposal and be
prepared to answer more in-depth questions asked by committee
members during the upcoming recommendation review meeting. Meetings
were then held on March 9 and again on March 23 to discuss the
proposals. Proposal 0705R was resubmitted (March 9) to incorporate
a budget reduction of $44,640 reducing the total requested amount
to $1,147,412. After the committee discussion on the
23rd, the members made their final recommendations to
the Provost. Letters were sent to the authors regarding proposal
outcome, along with comments generated during the discussion.
