Research Administrative Services

Research Administrative Services (RAS) is the centralized research administration unit for the school.

Mission

Our mission is to enhance the school's research enterprise by providing professional guidance and administrative support to faculty and staff pursuing external funding for research, service, and scholarly activities. To this end, RAS staff:

  • perform general and targeted searches for potential funding sources
  • disseminate RFAs and program announcements from major funders
  • advise PIs on the interpretation and application of university and sponsor policies and procedures

We are committed to helping faculty build and grow their research programs and to supporting the expansion of SPHHP's research initiatives.

Effort Certification and Reporting Technology

In collaboration with all SUNY campuses, the Research Foundation has implemented an online effort reporting tool to replace the paper version of effort certification statements.

Changes in effort will need to be submitted manually via the Change in Effort Request Form.
