Grant Support and External Funding Web-site

Welcome to the Cornell University Library grant support and external funding home page. The purpose of this page is to assist all library personnel involved in external funding initiatives to better understand the process at Cornell University and to enhance the success rate of submissions.

Cornell University Library encourages librarians to investigate and pursue outside sources of income in the form of grants, gifts, contracts and cooperative agreements that support its mission.

The guidelines, procedures and resources listed below will facilitate the preparation of proposals. By following these procedures you will insure that the best possible proposal is submitted, that the impact of your proposal on the Library is clearly understood, and that the proposal meets current library and university policies.
