Where to Route a Funding Request

All requests for external funding of Buffalo State College activities are institutional actions requiring the approval of either the Office of Sponsored Programs (Research Foundation) or the Buffalo State College Foundation. Determining which office to contact depends on the type of sponsor and type of funding request. The following diagram shows how to identify the appropriate office.
