CUNY
CUNY is home to more than 100 research centers, institutes and consortia, which provide research opportunities for faculty and students, employment, internships, and special events. These centers focus their efforts on a wide range of areas, including aging, applied sciences, corporate integrity, transportation systems, ethnic studies, performing arts, sustainable energy and urban studies, to name a few.
Many institutions reflect CUNY’s support of state-of-the-art education and research, such as the Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers. Others exemplify the University’s commitment to service and historic preservation, including the Institute for Criminal Justice Ethics at John Jay College and the Gotham Center for New York City History, founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Mike Wallace.

ExecutiveCUNY Institute CoSSMO
Our mission is to identify potential projects and participants across CUNY and in the community at large, to help members identify sources of funding and to prepare grant applications, to facilitate the execution of the projects, providing advice, space, and computer facilities, to create research programs by aggregating multiple projects with common defining factors (such programs will promote interactions and networking that will increase the value of the research activities with respect to the contribution of individual projects), to manage program projects with core competencies, and to establish collaborations outside CUNY (national and international)
