Grants Development

Grants Development

The Grants Development department is responsible for providing assistance to faculty, staff, and administrators who are seeking external funding. Our office coordinates with grant seekers throughout the entire writing process, which includes the following:

  • research
  • editing
  • submission
  • management

In 2007, our department was instrumental in securing the 2nd largest grant at OTC for the new Richwood Valley Tornado Shelter. This shelter will provide a safe place for students and the surrounding Richwood Valley community to go during tornadic weather. We are proud to serve such a vital role in ensuring OTC continues its growth and mission to students and the community.
