Provost's Research Awards Guidelines & Cover Sheet * - The Provost makes up to three research awards yearly for use over a 15-month period by full-time faculty to develop a research initiative with high potential for securing external, institutional research funds and to apply for external funding. The selection process favors projects from faculty who are in a position to use this funding to progress from their current research status to one in which they are competitive for major external, institutional funding. Priority will be given to projects with the highest potential for securing support from Federal agencies that provide full Facilities and Administrative (F & A) costs, (e.g., NSF, NIH, DOE, EPA, and DOD).

Grant Development Award Guidelines * - SUNY New Paltz supports approximately five faculty annually to apply for participation in the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Proposal Writing Institute. Novice to experienced proposal writers are eligible to attend the summer Institute which focuses on the completion of completitive proposals to the granting agency of the participant's choice. Both tenured and non-tenured, full-time, tenure track faculty are welcome to apply; however, priority for this award is given to newly tenured (within three years) faculty.
