Part Five: Assessing External Support and Collaboration

Part Five: Assessing External Support and Collaboration

• 
  List active grants/contracts specifically related to the proposed program.
  

Faculty members currently engaged in the development of this degree program are also active in pursuing external funding to support their work. Current or recent sources of research funding include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Sea Grant, and the National Science Foundation.

• 
  Describe existing collaborative efforts related to the proposed program with community or state agencies, other institutions of higher education, federal laboratories or agencies, national centers, or other external organizations.
  

There have been on-going collaborative efforts with local, regional, and state tourism, hospitality, and recreational agencies for a number of years that will be aggressively expanded as this program unfolds. As students progress through this degree they will contribute to collaborative efforts with businesses, companies, and policy oriented organizations in order to learn, to provide services, and to conduct research of an applicable nature. It is expected that collaborative projects will emerge with other institutions of higher education, centers focusing on tourism issues, or other related external organizations.

• 
  How do you plan to use external funding to support the proposed program? To what agencies or programs would proposals be submitted and with what timeframe?
  

• 
  What indications are that the proposed program addresses significant problems of stated interest to funding agencies?
  
• 
  How well does the proposed program align with state and national initiatives as stated by the indicated governmental agencies?
  
• 
  How well does the proposed program align with state and national initiatives as stated by the indicated foundations or other non-governmental sources?
  
• 
  What kind of university investments will be needed to leverage external support and over what time period?
  

External funding will largely be used to fund student scholarships, faculty research, and student participation in professional activities. Each department contributing to the MS-ST currently has relationships with Federal and State agencies of commerce, parks, cultural affairs, agricultural, and economic development to name a few. In addition, corporations such as American Express, Aramark Corporation, the J. Williard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, American Hotel and Lodging Educational Foundation, and other foundations have given generously to tourism programs. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts have sponsored research and development grants in tourism. Contracts for services have provided some previous funding and there is reason to expect more of this occurring. In addition, many individuals are interested in ECU’s move into sustainable tourism studies and may be willing to support such an effort through support for student scholarships and/or faculty resources. Major university investments most likely will not be needed except where a donor might request a “match” from ECU to equal their contribution.
