Renew

If you're renewing

Renewal funding is not guaranteed and depends on:

• Submission of a new program proposal each year
• Completion of the mid-year check-in
• Submission of the yearly progress report six weeks after the program year concludes
• Demonstrated advancement in outcomes
• Responsible stewardship of funds
• Evidence of learning and adaptation
• Continued need for the project
• Participation in required program activities

Planning for sustainability

Successful EDGE projects should eventually move toward:

• Unit operating budget support
• External funding support
• Broader institutionalization
• Scalability across the University

Questions to guide planning

• What part of the project can continue after EDGE funding ends?
• What resources will be needed to sustain the work?
• What evidence supports continued investment?
• Which partners will help carry the project forward?

AI reflections in post-award reporting

If AI tools were used, reports should include:

• What tools were used
• How they supported the work
• Whether the tools improved assessment or reporting
• Any limitations, concerns, or lessons learned
• How human oversight and data governance were maintained

If your project is ending

Projects that conclude after one or more years of funding should submit a final summary of:

• Outcomes achieved
• Lessons learned
• Recommendations for institutionalization
• Recommendations for scale or discontinuation, as appropriate
