Grants Development Office

Welcome

The Grants & Sponsored Programs team at LaGuardia Community College guides and supports faculty and staff in securing and managing external funding to promote the strategic goals and priorities of the college and its individual programs.

Proposal Development Questionnaire

Completing LaGuardia’s Proposal Development Questionnaire (PDQ) is the first step in submitting a proposal through the college to an external (non-CUNY) sponsor. The PDQ contains critical information that enables departmental and divisional leadership to review and approve the development of a proposed project.

Please complete the fillable form below and, per the instructions within,  share with the Grants & Sponsored Programs team as soon as possible in the proposal development process.

  • Coordinating with RFCUNY on account setup
  • Reviewing and signing requests for Forward Funding
  • Helping liaise with the sponsor and RFCUNY on post-award grant activities
