IRC Grants!
Summer Grant Opportunity 2026 IRC Grants. Due Date: April 24th at 3:00pm. The IRC and FRCAE are offering up to $2,500 for instructional resource grants to support research and development of course materials that benefit the SUNY Niagara student body.
Each year, the IRC and FRCAE invite faculty to apply for an instructional resource grant. Grants must support research and/or development of instructional resources that impact the SUNY Niagara student body in accredited SUNY Niagara courses.
The grant is used to cover the cost of implementation of an idea or project that is beyond your current, normal job responsibilities. Generally, this project should be completed in the summer.
To access the application go to Brightspace, Faculty/Staff Resources and click the FRCAE Module. You can also access the application by clicking the IRC Grant application located on the FRCAE SharePoint Site.
