When a CUNY researcher wins a grant, the Research Foundation of The City University of New York is the body that signs the agreement, opens the account, hires the project staff, and answers to the sponsor. A nonprofit educational corporation since 1963, it exists to do exactly that: post-award fiscal and administrative work for CUNY's research and sponsored programs, from subawards and invoicing to budget monitoring, cost compliance, and the external audits that follow.
Award Pre-Proposal Support is the front end of this operation, helping CUNY faculty and students find extramural funding, working with campus administration on proposals, and building metrics to track proposal success rates across the university. Grants and Contracts takes over once the award lands, staffed in Project Administrator and Assistant Project Administrator pairs who each carry a portfolio of accounts.
