ITTl Selection, Notification and additional Steps :

The 2008-2009 ITTL selection committee consists of a broadly representative sample of faculty and staff from all four TCC campuses. Each member of the selection committee, after some discussion of the final proposals, will provide an ordinal ranking of the proposals with the most desirable and cost-effective proposal being ranked in an order from first to last.

• Rankings will be totaled and averaged together to determine the committee's collective ranking of each proposal. The proposals funded will be those with the lowest totals that can be accommodated within TCC's ITTL Grant budget. 
• Athough, the ITTL committee has an available budget of 100 hundred thousand dollars.  If the project proposal does not meet technical specs or if the majority on the selection committee vote against approval, that project will not be eligible for funding.

• All applicants, will be notified by email of the committee's final decisions by May 1, 2008. Funded grant applications will be posted to the web for public viewing and reference by subsequent applicants.

• If the grant proposal involves human subject research, it will need to be vetted by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) only after ITTL committee has committed to funding the project.  More information regarding studies and activities that require IRB approval can be found here:  http://www.tcc.edu/welcome/collegeadmin/grants/IRB/
