Funds Generated From Sponsored Programs Administration

Sponsored programs administration is one of the essential services the RF provides to the SUNY research community. The funds that are administered by this service come in the form of grants and contracts for research programs at campuses. The RF manages these funds to ensure compliance with university, grant sponsor and government policies and procedures.

What the Data Shows

Page 7 of the RF’s annual Operating Plan presents the various sources of RF income, including funds generated from sponsored programs administration.  Grants and contracts direct and indirect dollars account for most of the RF’s income.  These funds differ from nonsponsored and other income in that they are given with terms and conditions, such as specific time periods in which the funds must be spent or financial reporting requirements. 

Direct Dollars from Grants and Contracts Are Used to Support Research Programs on Campuses
