Spending for grants must be completed within the semester the ​funds are awarded.

At the time of notification, Faculty who are awarded funds will receive information about the methods for accessing these funds. Awardees will access their funds through their department credit card or processing invoice as your normally would. Please connect your department admin with the RCCE contact to get information about the Cost Center so the RCCE gets charged. When preparing supporting documentation, please refer to MICA’s ​Business and Travel Expense Policy​ for guidelines about acceptable documentation of expenses.

Within two months of the project’s completion, the grantee is expected to upload a report using Startup Tree summarizing the delivery and use of the grants, any publication, or accomplishments achieved with the award. This report should include an overview of activities, notable outcomes, student work samples and self-evaluation of the project. This report will be used as a record for the RCCE and may be shared with the College community via the Faculty Grants website. Additionally, faculty recipients may be called upon to share their project in intra-institutional events. Faculty will also be invited to share entrepreneurial assignments/speakers to an evolving database and resource library for faculty interested in integrating similar activities into future courses.
