Grants and Funding

Meyers Sponsored Research

 

NYU Meyers researchers consistently secure funding from major government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as from leading philanthropic organizations, foundations, and community partners.

Awards support work that spans the continuum of nursing science—from discovery to implementation—and involve collaborations among researchers, clinicians, students, and global community partners who share a commitment to improving health across populations, particularly those most affected by complex health and social challenges.

Our research team provides extensive support to investigators across the college related to grant submission and management through the Meyers Office of Sponsored Research, which oversees all efforts related to grant submissions, including: 

  • Budget development, 
  • Review of sponsor agency guidelines and policies, 
  • Just-in-time submission, IRB requirements
  • Negotiating with internal/external collaborating entities, 
  • Contracts/Data Use Agreements.

For more information about grant and funding application support, please contact nursing.preaward@nyu.edu

The Grant Initiation Form (GIF) is recommended to be submitted at least two months prior to the sponsor’s deadline and helps the office manage specific and overall grant submissions.

Grant Initiation Form

 

The goal of the Office of Sponsored Research is to supports investigators in identifying, developing, and submitting competitive proposals, and carries the proposal from sponsor review to Notice of Award including Just-in-Time requests and any requested modifications from the funder before award receipt.

  • Receives and triages Grants Initiation Forms (GIFs) and assigns staff support to each proposal
  • Identifies funding opportunities and advises on fit and eligibility
  • Interprets sponsor guidelines, terms, and conditions
  • Develops proposal budgets and budget justifications with the PI, in partnership with HR, Finance, and IT
  • Creates and maintains a submission timeline for each proposal
  • Reviews proposals for completeness and compliance, and manages submission through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP)
  • Advises on IRB requirements, research security and other regulatory approvals at the proposal stage
  • Communicates with the sponsor on all proposal matters
  • Prepares and submits Just-in-Time materials
  • Assists with requested changes or updates to a proposal prior to award receipt
  • Convenes the handoff to Post-Award
  • Prepares and submits non-funded agreements (material transfer and data use agreements)

The policy and timeline on Grant Submissions set forth the responsibilities of the Rory Meyers College of Nursing Grants Office in reviewing, approving, and submitting (with the Office of Sponsored Programs) grant applications on behalf of New York University, and identify submission timelines to ensure that these responsibilities are met.
