$35M State Investment Allocation “Legacy Fund” Submission Form
The Office of Strategy and Institutional Effectiveness is charged with managing the process and stewardship of the $35 million state investment. That management includes both the initial approval of all funds leveraging the state investment and the reconciliation of those funds consistent with the approved request and budget. Both the request and budget form will be located on MSM Intranet.
Once approved, the Vice President for OSIE notifies via email the requester(s), finance officer, ELT leads, and the MSM budget office. The budget office then begins the process of releasing the approved fund by issuing a FOAP and placing the funds in the account consistent with the approved budget.

ߣƵ Strategic Plan
We as an MSM community have developed a shared vision and a way forward that leverages the strengths of our past and present yet spells out an extraordinary future toward the creation of health equity and lasting relevancy. Our strategic plan relied on the input of every member of our MSM family to define this strategic journey.
Throughout the development of the strategic plan, we asked all the members of our MSM community to imagine what’s possible. As a result, we’re now poised to meet the challenge of our new shared vision: Leading the creation and advancement of health equity.
