FY 2008–09 IT Funding Request Outcomes

For the FY 2008–09 budget process, UC Berkeley's Campus Technology Council (CTC) reviewed twenty-four technology funding requests representing $25M in total proposed campus investment. In their review process, the CTC evaluated requests against a set of critical criteria, including the Chancellor's goals, to help ensure the alignment of technology investments with campus priorities. Specifically, the Council's philosophy is to fund requests that:

• are innovative in approach and aligned with the campus technical vision;
• impact the campus community most broadly and effectively;
• equitably support the key areas as identified in the IT Strategic Plan, including Research, Teaching and Learning, Student Experience, Administration, and IT Governance; and
• have clear and sustainable funding and support models with matching campus and departmental investment.

Funding recommendations were submitted to the Chancellor in April 2008, and were approved in June. Final funding allocations are reflected in the table below. While work on some projects is already proceeding, for projects where changes to scope or funding model were required, work will proceed after the CIO's approval of revised documents.
