The Office of Grants and Contracts at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) is your central resource for all grants and contract submissions.
We support faculty and staff by:
- Ensuring proposals follow University and School policies
- Assisting with grant preparation and submission
- Providing ongoing support for sponsored projects
Planning to Submit a Grant?
CUNY SPS has recently implemented a process for submitting all grant and grant-related proposals. Faculty and staff planning to pursue external funding should follow this process.
Intent To Submit (ITS) Form
If you are planning to apply for a grant, your first step is to complete an Intent to Submit (ITS) Form. This form notifies the Grants Office of your plans so we can guide you through the process and help ensure a smooth submission.
Submit your ITS form here
Note: Please discuss your plans with your Academic Director before moving forward with external funding opportunities.
