Illustration Services Grant

Faculty needing illustration services can submit requests online through the University Relations and Communication (URC) office at http://new.ipfw.edu/offices/urc/requests/

Projects will be evaluated for submission based on whether they fit the following criteria:
a. Supports research for scholarly activities only
b. Not a classroom aid

If there is a question of qualification, the request will be forwarded to RESP for approval or rejection; they will discuss the project with the requester, department chairs and deans and notify URC if it is to be accepted.

Projects requiring more than a couple of hours work will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis using more stringent criteria.

All awards are made based on funding availability.

After projects are submitted and approved, a representative from University Relations and Communications (URC) will provide a small list of illustrators to faculty for projection completion*, based on known project parameters and associated cost(s).

Faculty will be responsible for selecting the illustrator, reporting the final selection to RESP and managing the project through completion. RESP will administer compensation, faculty feedback, and necessary business operations. Illustrators will receive half of the project’s payment up-front and the other half upon project completion.

*URC will maintain a current list of illustrators with contact information and portfolios. A refined list of illustrators will be presented to faculty and RESP per project request, based on RESP approval and known requirements. Faculty feedback can also be added to illustrator profiles upon project completion, if/when available.

Illustrator questions can be directed to Tina Ostermeyer, University Relations and Communications Operations Manager; ostermet@ipfw.edu; 260-481-6428.
