  In FY2017-18, the SUNY Office of Research and Economic Development (“ORED”) launched a seed grant program, the Center-Scale Planning and Development Program (“CSP”), to assist SUNY teams in the development and submission of center-scale funding proposals to external agencies. Two rounds of competitive solicitations were met with strong enthusiasm from SUNY faculty and have yielded positive results in increasing external grant submissions and attracting external funding.
