Project Proposals
The Inter-Institutional Consortium (I-IC)
accepts project proposals whose goals and objectives meet those of the Consortium as well
as the priority areas of the funding agencies, particularly the United Board for Christian
Higher Education in Asia. Each committee is entitled to only one project each year.
However, simultaneous projects may still be allowed if supported by valid reasons.
The project proposals are first presented
to the Council of Liaisons for endorsement to the Board of Responsibles, which in turn
gives the final internal approval. The I-IC then prepares the final proposal based on the
specifications of the United Board or other funding agencies.
The I-IC sets a timetable for the
submission of project proposals for United Board’s funding. All funding proposals
should be with the I-IC office by October 1 for final processing. As required by the
United Board, all project proposals should reach the funding agency by November 30.
