A primary duty as Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts is to coordinate grants in the college to foster and assist funded projects. I created a questionnaire for all faculty in the college to solicit faculty interests in research and other creative work. The information regarding faculty interests was put into a database. When a request for proposal (RFP) was forwarded to my office, using the database, I would see if I could match faculty and RFP.
