Institutional Support is responsible for all grant applications submitted by Barnard College and/or its faculty members to foundation, corporate, and government sources. The Office consists of Director Abigail Feder-Kane, Associate Director Rhonda Zangwill, and Grants Manager Sharon Cauthen and Research Coordinator Sarbani Hazra. The first two focus on obtaining, and subsequently reporting on, institutional grants. The third and fourth are primarily dedicated to facilitating faculty sponsored research by identifying funding sources, reviewing and editing proposals, securing institutional approvals and signatures, interpreting guidelines, and promoting compliance with agency and College policies. If you are planning a research project and will need outside funding, you should begin your search as soon as possible. Please contact Sharon Cauthen for further information regarding: Identifying potential funding sources. Using our resource library of private and public funders. Obtaining applications and guidelines. Preparing proposals and budgets based on program guidelines. Adhering to sponsor and College policies. Securing College approval of applications. It is essential that the College coordinate its funding efforts for both institutional and individual projects. All sponsored research grant applications must be reviewed and approved by Grants Manager Sharon Cauthen and Provost Elizabeth Boylan before being submitted. Proposals should be submitted to Grants Manager Sharon Cauthen for institutional signature at least one week prior to the funding agency’s deadline. After a proposal has been awarded, contact Nancy Hirshan in the Controller’s Office at x4-7734 to discuss post-award procedures.
