Frequently Asked Questions
How can two or more HEIs apply as one unit?
Two or more HEIs may establish a partnership or collaboration and identify a lead HEI from among themselves, who shall apply for the grant in behalf of the whole unit, following the regular processes for individual HEI applicants.
What if our proposed project falls under more than one category?
HEIs must identify their project either as Institutional Development or Institutional Innovation, but may cut across the various sub-categories under each. Creativity is greatly encouraged.
Can we have more than one project at a time under IDI Grants?
HEI campuses which have accessed the Grant through the regular application process may only have one (1) project funded at a time. Institutions with ongoing projects under the Grant at the time of Call for Proposals are disqualified from applying. However, HEIs remain eligible to implement programs under CHED-initiated projects for IDI Grants even if they have received funding from the Grant.
(As per amendments to CMO No. 33, series of 2016 through CMO No. 63, series of 2016)
We were not selected for the grant this year. Can we re-apply?
Yes. Proposals that are not approved may be re-submitted in succeeding Calls for Proposals, provided the necessary revisions and improvements are made.
Can the grant be used to purchase equipment?
Yes, as long as it is deemed critical in attaining the project objectives by the necessary evaluating panels, and approved by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). Note that this may require longer processing time for the disbursal of funds.
We’ve completed the project under IDI Grant. What’s the next step?
HEIs that have successfully implemented projects under the IDI Grant are obliged to mentor other HEIs, as specified in the approved design for cascading best practices of the project.
