This office is the initial point of contact for most faculty or staff seeking grants, contracts, or gifts for scholarly or educational projects. Information on some fellowships and travel grants is available. Academic Funding also oversees the routing (for office institutional signatures) of all federal grants and most private source proposals. Notice of grants-in-process is required one month in advance (through the "Intent Form"). Routing copies for signature, including face sheets, budgets, and a narrative that has been proofed, are due two weeks before mailing deadline.

Please see "Guidelines for Seeking External Funding" for more information.

Required Procedures and Forms

Faculty members are strongly encouraged to seek external support for projects such as: 1) curricular development or revision; 2) instructional or research instrumentation needs; 3) individual or departmental research; and 4) faculty development or skills improvement (e.g. sabbatic, fellowships, or internships).

External grants are binding contracts between the sponsoring agency and Ithaca College. As a result, careful review of proposals before submission is required.
