Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) can be proud of a long history of grant-funded development at the college. These financial awards support a vast array of innovative projects that enhance the college’s ability to achieve its vision. CNM encourages faculty, staff, and administrators to be aware of external funding opportunities supporting projects, programs and activities that will deepen and enhance the CNM mission. To support awareness and use of the grant development process from research to finding funding sources, proposal writing to grant program management, we have compiled the information on these Grant Development web pages.
The following link provides more information on the grant development process. Grant Resources and information can be found here.
In the past, grant development has been decentralized across the college. More recently, a systematic approach centralizing the process within the Planning, Budget, and Institutional Department (PBIR) was initiated. With a more standardized process in place, CNM hopes to strengthen the college’s ability to secure a broad base of external funding, to assist those in search of such funding to achieve financial benefits for all departments at CNM, and to enhance the student experience, especially in the areas of recruitment, retention and graduation. A goal of this centralized process is to align grant development with overall strategic planning and assure optimal implementation and sustainability of grant-funded initiatives throughout the college.
CNM's grant planning process is aimed at obtaining substantial, sustainable external funding to advance the college's strategic plan and to support CNM's mission, vision and Strategic Plan.
