Our Primary Mission Seek external funds and administer grant and contract awards
Institutional Relations It is the policy of the College that all grants and contracts submitted to external sponsors must be cleared through the Grants Development Office (grants and some contracts) and/or Sponsored Programs (contracts), and approved by the College’s Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). Regardless of value, all externally funded awards to SUNY Oneonta for research, training, programs, curriculum development, etc. are fiscally administered by the Research Foundation of SUNY.
Research Foundation of SUNY The Research Foundation of SUNY is a private, nonprofit educational corporation whose primary responsibility is the administration of externally funded contracts and grants for and on behalf of the State University of New York.
