Following conclusion of the grant event or experience, successful applicants is required
to submit a short written report describing the grant activity and analyzing its success
in the eyes of the grantee. This report should be submitted within four weeks after
the conclusion of the event being funded.

Proposals must be submitted electronically to oip@ksu.edu, along with all supporting documentation noted in the Guideline, by the deadlines posted above in order to be considered.
Late applications will not be considered unless the CIAC chooses to make an exception.
