Recent Funding Opportunities

This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities can be found on the IU Granstlink. You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.

 Lumina Foundation for Education: Our work must be focused to be effective. Therefore, we will concentrate its national funding efforts in three theme areas:
  • Addressing the issue of financial access to postsecondary education.
  • Supporting efforts that help postsecondary students identify appropriate options and remain in school to attain their educational objectives.
  • Understanding and addressing the challenges faced by nontraditional students, including adult students, first-generation college goers and under-served groups of students.

02-2 Travel Rates Effective January 1, 2002
New travel rates have been announced and are effective January 1, 2002.  These rates should be used for budgeting purposes in the development of proposals.  Be advised that some state agencies restrict the reimbursement of travel to state rates that are lower than university rates.  In such cases the actual reimbursement will be according to the state regulations.  Since it is unknown at the time of proposal development if such restrictions will apply to a particular project, the budget should estimate travel costs using the following university rates.

02-1 Capitalization Threshold Change
The threshold amount for the capitalization of equipment will be raised from $1,000 to $5,000. The federal government has allowed universities to raise their capitalization threshold and a detailed analysis by Indiana University has determined $5,000 to be the optimum threshold for our institution.

  • The capitalization threshold will change to $5,000 effective July 1, 2002 for tagging and creating assets in the Capital Asset Management System.
  • Proposals prepared that request equipment funds for budget periods after June 30, 2002 should include equipment at the $5,000 per item threshold.
