For Foundations

The FR Office is serves as the gateway for foundations and philanthropic groups wishing to support research and educational programs.

Facilitate Partnerships

  • We match available funding opportunities and programs to the most appropriate faculty and centers on campus.
  • We work with foundations with similar goals to leverage and maximize the impact of their contributions to the University.

Communications

  • We communicate private funding announcements to UCSC faculty and staff, and actively match opportunities to particular stakeholders.
  • We contact foundations on behalf of faculty and staff (and vice versa), particularly when a single point of contact is requested by the funding agency.
  • We help prepare and submit required reports and other post-award communications.
  • We provide foundations with institutional information, statistics and other data upon request.

Limited Submission Programs

  • We coordinate the selection process of private funding programs that explicitly restrict the number of applications or proposals that the campus can submit.

Policies

  • We provide and clarify University of California policies pertaining to research and educational programs.
  • Upon request, we can intervene directly with other UCSC offices to help your organization to navigate the UC system.
  • CFR also communicates and explains private agency guidelines to UCSC recipients of awards, as well UCSC support staff who manage those awards.

Organizational

  • We arrange and facilitate contacts and site visits for foundation representatives and appropriate UCSC faculty, administrators and staff.
