#Notification of all entries of their presence in the wiki. It's now their responsibility to keep their pages up to date. The objective is for the wiki to be THE resource amongst the NDSU I&E community, so groups will have motivation to keep their page up-to-date. Schedule: Launch of Wiki - 1 week, if possible. This is to allow groups to make changes to their preset pages.
== Strategy #2: Take a break from typing up the wiki, because Financial and legal assistance for I've been typing all day. See you soon with more info!&E teams<br/> ==
Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #2 over a 2-3 year period:
Tactic #1: [Name Distillation of tactic]grants
*Description [250 words on why this strategy will solve this gap on : Grants like SBIRs, Venture grants, NSF grants, etc... aren't the easiest thing to just jump right into, especially considering that your campus]main competition is established professors and businesses- heck, some of them even write grants exclusively for a living! We're going to find a diverse pool of grant recipients in and around NDSU and interview them. If possible, we'd like to review their grant as well. The objective? Distilling as much information as possible into a 'how to' guide for writing grants. Generalized, of course, but I foresee the document having a basic template of succesful grants along with at least a 'what works, what doesn't' section.*Team Leader:: [Either your name, TBD or create . This will require sifting through large amounts of literature. This may be a title assigned good time to the person take advantage of non-engineer I&E supporters who volunteers]want to assist but don't have technical expertise.*Milestones: [A set of bullets that characterize #Start searching for succesful grant recipients- compile a list. Additionally, see who is willing to allow us to see their grant proposal(s). Schedule: now until August 2014.#Compile data and distill what works/what doesn't, any patterns, etc. Delegate, delegate, delegate! This can be started as soon as a few grants/interviews are received. Schedule: Projected early March 2014 at the earliest; Andy won't have time to pursue team building until I-challenge is done in February.#Create a rough guide, posted in PDF form on the wiki and sent to all interviewed persons for review and comment. Schedule: Unknown; Likely August 2014 at the work earliest. Let's say 'fall semester 2014'.#Finalize document. Andy is realizing, as he writes this, that would likely need a document control scheme may have to be executed, along with mm/yy]developed in order to ensure things are kept in order and up to date. Schedule: TBD
Tactic #2: [Name of tactic]
