RF Uses Funds for Sponsored Programs Administration

The RF uses the majority of its funds to run sponsored research programs at SUNY campuses as specified by the sponsoring entity. As covered in Funds Generated from Sponsored Programs Administration in Module One, funds come in to the RF in the form of grants and contracts and the RF manages these funds to ensure compliance with university, grant sponsor and government policies and procedures.

This service is called "Sponsored Programs Administration" and it is one of the essential services the RF provides to the SUNY research community.

What the Data Shows
The amount the RF expects to spend on sponsored programs administration, in grants and contracts direct dollars, can be found on page 7 of the RF’s annual Operating Plan.
