The Grants Proposal System (GPS) is now open for Cycle 54 applications to the PSC-CUNY Grant program. Please have your grant application submitted into the system by Friday, Dec. 9 so that the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research can review it prior to final submission. The final submission deadline is 11:59pm on Thursday, Dec. 15.

The PSC-CUNY, Professional Staff Congress of The City University of New York Research Award was established as a major vehicle for the University’s encouragement and support of faculty research and to leverage external funding. It seeks to enhance the University’s role as a research institution, further the professional growth and development of its faculty research, and provide support for both the established and junior scholar. There are three categories of awards with a maximum award of $12,000. The program is a key funding source for smaller-cale projects and/or pilot-data studies. Success rates of applications are higher than you will find with other sponsors. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to prepare and submit a proposal to this CUNY-wide program.

You can find information about eligibility, application preparation, criteria for evaluation, and the review process online.

There will be no exceptions for late submissions under any circumstances. The PSC review committees will not review late requests. If your submission is not in the GPS by 11:59pm on Dec. 15, you will need to wait until Cycle 55 to reapply.

Please also remember, the CSI internal review date is Dec. 9.

For questions, please contact Rosmery from the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research.
