Important NSF News regarding Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)

In compliance with the America COMPETES Act, all NSF proposals received on or after April 6 2009, must include the required post-doctoral fellows mentoring plans as a one page supplementary document , NOT as part of the 15-page Project Description. This update modifies the policy described in a previous announcement.  Details of these changes are contained in the revised NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the CUNY Postdoctoral Development Program have developed a brief document ( HERE ) that provides details of University-wide mentoring resources available for CUNY postdoctoral researchers.  This document should prove useful for CUNY faculty submitting NSF proposals that include funding for postdoctoral support.

CUNY Faculty Mentoring Program

The Faculty Mentoring Program will pair senior faculty members with early career faculty members to foster grantsmanship and facilitate grant proposal submissions, in cases where a junior faculty member has been unable to identify an appropriate mentor  in their own department or campus.

Faculty mentorship plays a vital part in the success of the University. Through the Faculty Mentoring Program, junior faculty are provided with the tools that lead to the advancement, promotion, and enhancement of their skills, knowledge and experience.
