Grant Development
University College has a long history of establishing networks and consortiums of organizations desiring to pursue educational excellence. As we strive to help build learning communities and coalitions, our goal is to facilitate collaboration among government, health care, education, and business sectors to assure the success of New York State organizations and their employees. Learning networks typically include partnerships, coalitions, and collaborations on Request for Proposals (RFPs), which seek special funding for education and training projects.

Our value proposition to the clients we serve includes:

  • Collaborative effort of multiple organizations to meet a community need
  • Leadership focus uniquely enhancing societal values, through improvements in systems, processes, technologies
  • Sustainable value that can be projected and lead by the organizations beyond the grant-funding cycle

Target Partners
Our past and future partners include profit and nonprofit organizations that are committed to ongoing research, development, implementation, and sharing of best practices. As our efforts will be focused on New York State, we will strive to provide the guidance and support to integrate communities across political, social, and economic domains.

Learning Networks
A learning network is a group of organizations united in a collaborative venture to provide best-of-class training and development of their workforces. Proposals and grants are to establish ongoing relationships that build learning communities and expand services to members for lifelong partnerships and shared resources. Services include:

  • Grant research and development of collaborations
  • RFP response, proposal writing
  • Program/administrative support
  • Web-based training: design, development, technical infrastructure
  • Publication of results in periodicals, at conferences
