April 2007 Newsletter

Welcome
to our first edition of the Corporate Foundation and Government
Grants newsletter! The overall goal of this publication
is to provide basic information to faculty and staff about
the grant process, services of the Grants office and various
grant opportunities available.

The Office of Corporate,
Foundation and Government Grants webpage has been totally
revised by Lindsey Kasha. The site has an easier format
to follow with updated links and resources for the entire
grant application process.
The updated grant approval form and grant approval process
can be found here, as well as a link to the IRIS database,
a grants search-engine to which the University has a subscription.
There are also links to the grants programs of a number
of federal and state agencies.
Also worth noting is the Awards,
Fellowships and Grants page in the Academic Programs
section of the University's web-page. This provides recent
information on the office's activity and has also been updated.

Some recently awarded grants:
- The Helen Brach Foundation recently
awarded Benedictine University a $30,000 grant to assist
with scholarships. Other foundations that have provided
generous scholarship assistance during this fiscal year
include the W. P. and H. B. White Foundation, the Cuneo
Foundation, and the Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation.
- The McCormick Tribune Foundation awarded
a grant to the University's Center for Civic Leadership
and Public Service to assist with the April 16 address
by Evan Thomas on Newsweek on "Election 2008: Presidential
Leadership in a Troubled World."
Gloria Hunter of Hunter Entrepreneurial
Institute recently gave a Grant Workshop
to interested faculty from the College of Liberal Arts,
as she did in January for the College of Science. Gloria
has also been assisting with several proposals recently
submitted or in preparation for the National Science Foundation.
Benedictine University seems well along the way to obtaining
its third-year renewal of the Middle East Partnership Initiative
of the U. S. Department of State. The response to the proposed
program for the summer of 2007 recently submitted by Drs.
Maria de la Camara and Roger Rose was very positive.
