The purpose of the Houston Community College Department of Resource Development is to support HCC goals and objectives by securing resources to help improve students’ ability to learn and faculty’s ability to teach. Outreach to members of the community and to business and industry for economic development is another departmental focus. The majority of the funds for internal college activities focus upon services that include scholarships, student recruitment and retention, curriculum development, faculty development, laboratory infrastructure and instrumentation while outreach services include basic education, small business development and training for business and industry workforce. Many of the sub activities are components of comprehensive grants.
