TAP Project Proposals

TAP (Transparent Acceptance of Projects) is a process for submitting and accepting projects that require a commitment of Information Technology resources and staff time. The projects typically involve teams across departments and/or divisions. The TAP process aims to make the submittal and acceptance of project proposals clear to everyone involved.

Feel free to peruse a sampling of IT projects.

How to Submit a TAP proposal?

The TAP process is flexible so that, regardless of your experience with technology or IT, you can submit a proposal.

Send your TAP Proposal Form (MS Word) to tap@bowdoin.edu and you will receive a confirmation email.

What is the Timeframe?

Though you can submit a TAP proposal anytime, priority will be given to proposals that are received by October 15, 2007 (for winter/spring projects) and March 1, 2008 (for summer/fall projects).

For October 15th submissions, you will hear by November 15th. For March 1st submissions, you will hear by April 1st.

A brief description of the accepted projects will be made available on this website.

Who will Review the TAP proposals?

Academic projects will be reviewed by a group consisting of the Associate Dean for Curriculum, two faculty members, and IT managers.

Administrative projects will be reviewed by representatives from each of the divisions and IT managers.
