*'''<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><span style="color:#000000;">Institutional grant proposals contain, but are not limited to, cultural, curricular, and extracurricular components such as faculty development and activities that foster relationships between colleges within the university, initiatives that engage the entire engineering student body, etc. This grant should aim toward permanent institutional change consistent with the broad mission of the KEEN Program.</span></span>'''
*'''<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><span style="color:#000000;">Topical grant proposals contain a single, sometimes tangible, proposed outcome. In contrast to institutional grants, topical grants are not intended to create institutional change; rather, they should provide a deliverable that will jointly further our shared mission and is readily transferable to other members of the Network.</span></span>'''
*'''<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><span style="color:#000000;">Small group grant proposals are intended to stimulate thought and discussion within the Network. The PI for a Small Group Grant must be a faculty member from an institution with an active institutional grant.</span></span>'''
