Grant Opportunities

Initial Grant Opportunity

The initial grants will be limited to the six public research and doctoral institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia in order to permit them to address priority campus readiness requirements across the Commonwealth. The CHSF Board of Directors, with recommendations from CHSF Advisory Panel and other industry stakeholders, are in the process of reviewing requirements determination and refining the full grant procedures for the initial grant, which will be posted to this site once approved. The intent is for the grant to be awarded in the fall of 2008.

Future Grant Opportunities

Future grant opportunities and procedures will operate in a slightly different manner than the initial opportunity and may be available to a broader group of higher education institutions. The future grant procedure will be posted when new funding opportunities arise.
