Campus Grant
The State of New York and United University Professions mutually agree upon several objectives for campus grants. These grants encourage cooperative problem solving as well as strengthen professional development. Campus grants enhance the quality of working life and the creative use and understanding of technology. Another objective is to foster safer working conditions while expanding affirmative action programs. In addition the campus grants will provide professional enrichment opportunities as well as increase communication.
There are five categories for campus grant submission:
- Affirmative Action/Diversity
- Employment
- Professional Development (formerly PDQWL)
- Safety and Health
- Technology

Grants for Employees With Disabilities
This program establishes a fund for people with disabilities in the UUP Bargaining Unit (08). The individual award under this program will be up to $5,000 for each application. Applications will be accepted and decisions will be made on a continuing basis subject to availability of Affirmative Action/Diversity Committee funds. There is no limit on the number of applications that individuals may submit for possible funding.
This individual award program is intended to provide funds for full-time and part-time employees with disabilities to cover out-of-pocket expenses for professional work-related activities incurred because of the disability. This program is not intended to replace accommodations which the campus must provide under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but rather to provide funding for additional disability-related work expenses.
Only SUNY employees with disabilities (as defined by the ADA) in the UUP Bargaining Unit (08) are eligible.
Please Note: Applications are available upon request at the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs, or the UUP local Office located in Hawkins Hall Rm. 101
