Now Accepting 2012-2013 Grant Funding Applications

Applications will be accepted from March 1, 2012 until the deadline: 12 pm noon on April 2, 2012. Due to continued departmental budget constraints and the inclusion of our Community General campus, we anticipate a high volume of requests. Please be respectful of other project needs and keep requests to a minimum.

Each year The Advocates for Upstate Medical University set aside a portion of their proceeds to fulfill their mission of supporting Upstate Medical University. The grants are meant to improve and enhance patient care, support medical education and enhance community health initiatives. These grants are not for individual scholarship funding but for departments and programs.

All applicants will be notified of decisions made by the Grant Funding Committee at The Advocates’ Annual Meeting & Luncheon in May. Approved funds will be available June 1, 2012.
