Guidelines

The intent of SUNY Geneseo’s Proposal Writing Support Award is to provide full-time faculty members with time or other support to write major proposals for submission to external funding agencies. Faculty members may request support for the writing of either:

1. New proposals, or
2. Significant revisions of previously submitted proposals

Support will be considered for major proposals in all academic fields and for a variety of initiatives (e.g. fellowships, research grants, educational grants).  A “major” proposal is defined as one requesting a total of $15,000 or more in support from the sponsor.

INDIVIDUAL Applicants may request:

1. A three credit course reassignment
2. Summer salary up to $2,500
3. Up to $4,062 {this is equivalent to summer salary plus benefits at 62.48%} towards any combination of student research assistant(s), travel support for conferences or research, or research equipment, supplies, software, or services
4. A combination of summer salary and research expenses that does not exceed a total of $4,062 when fringe benefits for summer salary at the state rate of 62.48% are included

GROUPS of two or more collaborating faculty may request:

1. Three to four credits of course reassigned time;
2. Summer salary up to $3,750 to be divided among collaborators;
3. Up to $6,093 {the equivalent of $3,750 plus fringe benefits at 62.48%} towards any combination of student research assistant(s), travel support for conferences or research, or research equipment, supplies, software, or services
4. A combination of summer salary and research expenses that does not exceed a total of $6,093 when fringe benefits for summer salary at the state rate of 62.48% are included.

Please consider the appropriate sponsor deadline(s) if you are requesting a course reassignment. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, proposals must be submitted within one year of the end of the semester or summer in which the award is used.  Failure to comply with this requirement will disqualify you from future Proposal Writing Support Awards.
