Resources for New Faculty

As a new faculty, you will likely hear from us in the first few weeks of your arrival at Cornell. You are welcome to reach out to us before you arrive or at any time you need research administration support. Please see our Contact RASC page for hours and location.

The Research Administration Service Center provides the following services specific to new faculty: 

  • Maintains a guide to funding opportunities for junior faculty (below)  
  • Assists faculty to register with funding agencies
  • Coordinates award transfers from faculty's previous institutions to Cornell
  • Offers individual orientation meetings to introduce new faculty to pre-award RA services at the college and the university
