Request for Proposals
The Tech Fee Request for Proposals (RFP) is designed to solicit a broad response from faculty and staff members throughout the York College community for new technology-supported teaching and learning ideas and strategies in accord with the CUNY Technology Fee guidelines.
The Technology Fee operates on a fiscal year that begins July 1 and ends on June 30. It is, therefore, required that all initiatives and financial transactions occur prior to June 30. All applications must be received by 5:00 PM on the application dates. Applications that are received after the due dates will not be considered. Decisions and application updates will be sent via e-mail on the notification dates listed on the proposal cover page.
The decisions of the Technology Fee Committee are final. Grant recipients will commit to providing a written report on the outcome of their project after the completion of its activities. The report will be submitted to the committee by July 31 of each year. The report format will be provided at the time of award notification.
Each proposal will be reviewed and discussed by the members of the Technology Fee Committee. Review criteria include the following:
- The relevance of the proposed project to York’s overall mission of Student Retention/Recruitment/graduation and Academic Success.
- Compliance of the project with the CUNY technology fee guidelines
- The intellectual quality and coherence of the proposal
- The ability of the proposed project to reach a broad York constituency
- The innovation of the approach
- The degree of faculty and student collaboration
- The appropriateness of the evaluation component
- The extent to which outcomes are clearly identified and follow-up activities specified; and
- The rationale for the proposed budget
