The responsibilities of the Minigrant Review Committee shall include:

2. Criteria for evaluating proposals should be clearly specified prior to the annual announcement of the request for proposals. However, the MRC shall have the ability to alter criteria from year to year.

3. Working with the appropriate administrator to generate announcements regarding availability of awards and deadlines.

4. Reviewing, discussing, and rating mini-grant proposals and making award recommendations to the appropriate administrator.

5. Providing a brief written rationale accounting for the ranking it gives to each proposal. If a proposal is deemed to lack merit and is consequently not ranked, a written rationale shall be provided.

6. When an administrator changes the committee rankings, a written explanation shall be provided.

7. When functions of the Minigrant Review Committee also fall within the areas of concern of other committees, the Committee will work in conjunction with those committees.
