Faculty Research Support

Individual Faculty Grants
Faculty Grants Officer Susan Elvin Cooper provides a comprehensive advisory and consultative service for undergraduate faculty in their quest for grants to support individual projects, from curricular innovations and academic research to specialist conferences, public programs, and other professional work. Members of faculty are encouraged to contact Sue before applying for any grant. She offers support throughout the grant life cycle, which comprises these principal steps: finding funding prospects, gaining the appropriate institutional approvals to apply, creating and submitting an application, and managing a grant once it has been awarded. She tailors support according to the needs of the individual member of faculty, his or her project, and the grant opportunity itself. Typical examples are a training workshop on a funding program, the creation of information modules and templates, budget creation advice, copyediting support, the provision of institutional materials, contract analysis and negotiation, and a review of terms and conditions prior to accepting an award. She is also responsible for ensuring that all the appropriate documentation is forwarded to Bard College’s Office of Institutional Support, which centrally monitors all grants, and that grant documentation is created and stored to satisfy the requirements of the College’s auditors. Sue’s email is selvinco@bard.edu.
