Finding Funding Opportunities

• PSC CUNY Research Awards ( www.rfcuny.org/RFWEBSITE/research/content.aspx?catID=1190) – This internal CUNY grant program offers annual funding up to $12,000 for full-time faculty in all departments. The Professional Staff Congress of CUNY (PSC-CUNY) Research Award Program was established as a major vehicle for the University’s encouragement and support of faculty research and to leverage external funding. It seeks to enhance the University’s role as a research institution, further the professional growth and development of its faculty, and provide support for both the established and the younger scholar. Awards are distributed by the University Committee on Research Awards, a faculty committee, and administered by the Research Foundation of CUNY. Preference is given to junior faculty in the allocation of funds.
• COS Funding Services (www.cos.com/rfcuny.shtml) – The Research Foundation of CUNY subscribes to this service to allow CUNY faculty to search listings of available grants worth over $33 billion. A variety of grants, fellowships, and awards are available for researchers, scholars and other professionals in any discipline. Once you set up an account, you can define and save your funding search criteria and have information about new funding opportunities delivered each week via email. Weekly results, archived results, and tools to manage your searches are available on your COS Workbench.
