Grant Submissions

Submitting Grant Proposals through SEAS

Effective September 2009, SEAS implemented a new policy regarding grant proposal submissions. All budgets and RASCALS need to be approved by Jenifer Chin, Manager of Grants and Contracts for SEAS.

In addition to budget review, Jenifer will review each proposal application, paper or electronic, in full before forwarding to the appropriate Project Officer in SPA for submission regardless of the funding agency.

For questions or assistance with preparing your budget, RASCAL, and proposal, please contact Jenifer Chin at jc3547@columbia.edu or 212-854-1636.
