The Faculty Development Center (FDC) is accepting applications for the Small Grant Program. The Provost's Office, in collaboration with the Cortland College Foundation, provides funding for the program of up to $500 to SUNY Cortland faculty. Eligible applicants are members of the teaching faculty, specifically those SUNY Cortland employees whose official title includes the word professor, instructor, lecturer, or librarian.
Learn more about the Small Grant Award Guidelines which includes tips for a successful small grant application, provided on the FDC website. Here is the link to the Small Grant Application Form. It can also be found on the FDC website. Deadline for the Small Grant application for the fall semester is Monday, Sept. 16.
Applications must be completed using the new online application form, requesting routing first to your department chair and then dean. Please allow adequate time for your department chair and dean to review and sign/initial to complete your online application submission. Applications are not considered officially submitted until all required documentation and signatures have been received. Any application that is incomplete, missing signatures, or lacks the necessary documentation by the deadline will not be considered for review. Please attach a copy of your proposal as well as your budget as outlined in the online award application guidelines. A final decision is made by the provost.
Applicants are eligible to receive one Small Grant per fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). The Small Grant award activity dates for fall applications is Aug. 1 through Dec. 31, 2024.
