Celebrating This Summer’s

Thriving Research Grant Community
Dear colleagues,

Between precious porch reading and long-planned family vacations, CC faculty also took advantage of summer’s spaciousness to make strategic progress toward their long-term scholarly and creative goals. While naturally faculty across the College engaged in their research and creative work this summer, many from the faculty chose to lean into this work in exciting ways. All told, this summer 44 individual faculty from 19 departments and programs were engaged in the external grant funding process.  

Since Commencement: 

  • eight faculty engaged in planning meetings for future external funding
  • 10 faculty participated in one of three “Small Group Grant Gatherings”
  • 10 faculty submitted 11 new proposals for external funding
  • four faculty were awarded new external grants totaling $269,168 
  • three faculty and two staff are contemplating next steps after learning three grant proposals were not funded 
  • 13 faculty received a total of $141,253 in summer salary or stipends from their external grants, and 
  • 19 students received a total of $70,328 in research fellowship funding from external grants 
The high level of activity this summer illustrates an important trend: Over the last several years there has been a steady growth in the number of faculty who are incorporating the search for external funding into the ecosystem of their scholarly work. As of August 1, 2022, 21 CC faculty are principal investigators on 27 active grants and fellowships totaling ~$3.4 million in funding. By comparison, ten years ago, on August 1, 2012, 11 CC faculty were principal investigators on 15 active research grants totaling ~$1.6 million in funding.

If you are interested in joining CC’s vibrant grants community, please visit the Office of the Dean of the Faculty’s External Grants Overview page, where you can learn more about the resources that exist to support you in being successful and the benefits of grants work regardless of funding. The first step in the process is easy: Let’s meet at your convenience!

I send best wishes for a smooth start to the new academic year!

Resource Reminder

Curated Lists in Pivot Grants Database


Regardless of when (or whether) you intend to apply for research funding, it’s wise to develop an understanding of the kinds of funding opportunities that are available to you. In an effort make this easier for CC faculty, we have developed about 40 “Curated Lists” in the College’s Pivot grants database. While these lists are not exhaustive, they attempt to capture the key funding opportunities that are available to particular disciplines and particular audiences.

There are also Curated Lists with funding ideas for undergraduates and recent graduates. Please share this information with students!

Changes to the Standard Response Protocol

ID: brick building with glass doors, writing that says 833 Campus Safety Colorado College

Dear Campus Community,


Colorado College uses the Standard Response Protocol as a guide for the campus community to respond to situations on or near campus that pose risks to our health and safety.

These protocols are determined based on the type of situations and risks involved. Campus Safety then conducts an assessment of those situations and risks. If warranted, Campus Safety will send the appropriate protocol messaging through the emergency mass notification system, RAVE. 

Please make sure you’re registered to received RAVE messaging: Rave Login – Colorado College (getrave.com).

In 2021 the Standard Response Protocol was updated by the developers of the SRP, the â€śI Love U Guys” Foundation. The change was made based on feedback from schools and organizations that use the SRP. The new and updated SRP 2021 added new protocols, Secure and Hold, and removed Lock Out to alleviate the confusion between Lockdown and Lockout. You can watch a video outlining the changes here.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
