Date: April 7, 2009

This memorandum serves as a revision to the procedure enacted September 26, 2000 regarding grant application matters.

Effective 7/1/09, The Research Foundation of SUNY, (RF) through the Office of Sponsored Programs, will submit grant proposals and administer all grant activity for the campus with the exceptions of the following activity:

  • Applications to obtain endowment funding
  • Applications to obtain real property/gifts in kind
  • Applications to obtain scholarship funding
  • Applications to obtain professorships provided they aren't supported by federal, state and local public funds

Applications to obtain funding for capital programs will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the VP for Research and the VP for Advancement

Funds already housed in the Stony Brook Foundation (SBF) pursuant to the 9/26/00 procedure will continue to be administered by SBF until expiration or time of renewal. Funds awarded after 7/1/09 but requested prior to 7/1/09 will be transferred to RF unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. Should there be any questions regarding this new procedure, please contact Ivar Strand, Assistant VP of Sponsored Programs at 2-4402 or via e-mail at istrand@notes.cc.sunysb.edu.
