 The Office
Of Grants and Research has the responsibility for all aspects of grants
information and administration. The Associate Director and Director
serve as a resource in identifying potential funding sources, preparing
proposals and budgets, coordinating with all appropriate college
departments, overseeing compliance with college, university and government
regulations relating to grants, acting as liaison with granting agencies
and protecting the college's interests vis-à-vis grants and
contracts. In addition, the Office oversees post-award administration
of all grants and contracts, serves as a liaison with RF/CUNY for fiscal or

We
encourage you to search the world’s most comprehensive grant funding
database, the Community of Science (COS),
to which the Research Foundation of CUNY subscribes for each campus. COS is for all disciplines,
including the social sciences and humanities. It provides investigators
with electronic access to search current funding opportunities – over
20,000 of them. You can locate funding for research, collaborative
projects, fellowships, travel, equipment, training grants,
meetings/conferences/seminars, artistic pursuits, publishing, postdocs,
among the many offerings. It is easy to use and available through your
on-campus computer. If you first create a personal account, then you can
access the database remotely. Search results can be saved and shared via
email with colleagues and collaborators.
Simply
follow these directions. Click on COS
which will bring you to the Community of Science homepage (www.cos.com).
Create your free account by clicking on the New User’ tab on the
upper left-hand side of the screen. To search for funding, choose the
‘COS Funding Opportunities‘ tab at the top of the page, then
select the ‘Search COS Funding Opportunities’. The ‘Main
Search’ option gives you the most selections of search criteria from
which to choose. The ‘Search Wizard’ option will help step you
through creating a search.

NSF's
