Next Week's Webinar - From Now to Next: The Decade-Long Journey of Generative AI in Higher Education

Grant Writer Opportunity

NISOD has been asked to collaborate on a grant that will develop and implement processes and systems that support two-year colleges write and manage federal grants. To round out the team, the grant leadership is seeking to contract with an individual who has worked in this arena at a community or technical college, perhaps leading a grants management and development office, or heading up other grant pre- or post-award work. The ideal candidate is a highly experience community or technical college professional who is seeking a five-year, part-time (approximately 4 hours/week), mostly remote position in a project that will help two-year colleges across the U.S. secure grants from the National Science Foundation. This person may be holding a full- or part-time position or may be retired. To apply, contact Meighan Maloney at mmaloney@triviumconsulting.com before January 20, 2024.
