Project Development by SERVE, Inc. or the Office of Research Engagement

SERVE, Inc., a 509(a)(3) nonprofit corporation developed to support UNCG, conducts UNCG-related professional development and educational programs. SERVE, Inc. has a wide scope, but due to certain legislative requirements, some initiatives will instead be managed by the Office for Research Engagement (ORE).

SERVE, Inc. will conduct your project if it:

• is a service project.
• is a professional development program.
• is a UNCG credit-bearing course/program approved by the Provost.
• is a non-competitive project.
• is not a federal project.
• has no indirect cost provisions.
• is a project where UNCG is the sole source provider.
• is a one-time project.

Your project will be directed to ORE if it:

• is a federal grant or contract.
• allows for indirect costs.
• is awarded as part of a competitive bidding process.
• is a research rather than a service project.
