Q: What is the approval process from MSUM before I submit a grant application?
A: You need to fill out MSUM’s Grant Approval form (provide the link once we have a link for the grant form). Grants that are requesting $50,000 or more will need to go through the entire approval process, with final approval by the President. Grants that are for $5,000-$49,999 will need final approval by the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Grant applications that are for less than $5,000 will need final approval by the MSUM Grants Officer. Please initiate this process at least two weeks before the grant submission deadline, and it is best to initiate this process as soon as you have the necessary information.

A: No, MSUM is already registered with SAM.
