The central site for all NYS/UUP Joint Labor-Management Grants is here: UUP Grants
Note: Five NYS/UUP Joint Labor-Management Committees provide funding opportunities to employees in various programs. Each committee has an equal number of representatives appointed by the State and United University Professions (UUP). In addition, a Labor-Management Executive Committee approves all funding recommendations for joint labor-management initiatives. A neutral staff serves the committees.
To find detailed information about each of the programs below, please go to the website linked to above. Historically, SUNY New Paltz faculty have received many of these grants, so definitely take a closer look!
