Pre-Engineering and Applied Science Grants, 2007-2009 Biennium

Grant Reporting

Grantees are required to complete quarterly progress reports fourteen days after each of the 3-month project periods starting January 2008, with a final report due within 30 days after the project completion. A report template for the Final Report is forthcoming.

Q5	07/01/08 - 09/30/08	due 10/14/08
Q6	10/01/08 - 12/31/08	due 01/14/09
Q7	01/01/09 - 03/31/09	due 04/14/09
Q8	Final Report (through 06/30/09)	due 07/31/09

The Grant Reports are intended to help the ongoing efforts of the Oregon Pre-Engineering and Applied Sciences (OPAS) Initiative. We ask for candid, reflective, succinct responses and are equally interested in hearing about successes, challenges, difficulties and even failures.

In order to facilitate monitoring of expenditures of projects receiving ETIC funds, Grantees shall also submit an expense summary on a quarterly basis outlining expenses for the current period and cumulative expenses. An institutional expenditure printout may be used. Expense summaries should be included with the quarterly and final reports described above.

Please use the report template to prepare your quarterly grant reports and the final report template for your final grant report.

Reports may be sent by email to Ken Cone or mailed to:

ETIC Grant Administration
OUS Industry Affairs
18640 NW Walker Road, Suite 1065
Beaverton, OR 97006

If you have any questions, please contact Ken Cone at 503.725.2918.

Funding Goal
Proposed programs should support the Engineering & Technology Industry Council (ETIC) strategy of doubling the number of engineering and computer science graduates and seek to enhance pre-engineering and applied science education by implementing recommendations from the Oregon Pre-Engineering & Applied Sciences Initiative (OPAS) consistent with one or more of the following strategies:

Motivate: Enhance the ability of education programs to increase students’ interest and knowledge of engineering and applied science opportunities;
Prepare: Increase the students’ exposure to engineering and applied science and the use of improved teaching methods – active learning, student inquiry, engineering problem solving, and creative teamwork.
Succeed: Increase the enrollment and successful completion of courses in science, technology, engineering & mathematics by underrepresented populations.
Pathways: Create, develop, and maintain engineering and applied science pathways so that more students successfully transition among education institutions and into the workforce.

Funding structure
$390,000 will be allocated from ETIC Funds to programs to be performed during the biennium from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. [$195,000 subject to approval of the ETIC Budget for the fiscal year ending June 2009 by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education.]

The budget provided with the proposal should show no more than 50% of the expenditures being made before June 30, 2008 because half of the program funds will come from funds available during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 and will not be available until September 2008.
