CUNY Opportunities

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research at the City University of New York also has programs dedicated to supporting and encouraging research on its campuses. More information is available on the Vice Chancellor for Research's web site.

These include the following programs:

Collaborative Incentive Research Grant (CIRG)

The purpose of the Collaborative Incentive Research Grants Program is to enhance, through multi-campus collaborations, the prestige and prominence of the University to a national and international audience.

Community College Collaborative Incentive Research Grant (C3IRG)

The purpose of this Program is to support the research efforts of faculty, especially junior faculty, at the Community Colleges, and to encourage collaborations with faculty within and across the CUNY campuses.

Travel Funds Program

The Office of Academic Affairs has limited funds that can be made available to assist with travel for specific occasions.

Bridge Fund Program

CUNY faculty who run externally funded research programs and who run into a funding crisis due to a competitive renewal of their grant not being funded may apply for bridge funds under specific circumstances.

Research Equipment Grant

This initiative is periodically run to help investigators purchase laboratory equipment that will strengthen their research program, and thus assist them in applications for external research funding in the near future.
