2002 Appropriations

Last year, overall funding for sponsored activity, including research, exceeded $594 million - almost $100 million more in total sponsored funding than the university had two years earlier. Of the overall funding, $300 million was from federal sources, most in the form of contracts and grants from federal agencies. Last year, there was $3.4 million in direct congressional appropriations compared to the $10.7 million this year.

The congressional funding for 2002 is in support of 20 projects at SUNY institutions; the funding was included in legislation passed during the first Session of the 107th Congress.
