SUNY Geneseo’s Office of Sponsored Research marked a year of significant growth and achievement, according to the newly released 2024–25 Annual Report. The office secured $3.1 million in new awards, continuing a four-year streak of surpassing $2 million, the fourth-highest annual total in the past 25 years. Sponsored Research also oversaw $2.4 million in expenditures.

Officer-in-Charge Mary Toale praised the Sponsored Research team’s leadership, noting their “dedicated work in advancing research and scholarly activity across our campus” and their impact in strengthening Geneseo’s academic reputation.

The report highlights broad faculty engagement, with 44 faculty and staff members across 17 departments submitting 36 proposals totaling nearly $12 million. SUNY Geneseo’s internal funding programs also flourished, providing 425 awards valued at $359,139 to support faculty research and student scholarly activity.

Student scholarship was on full display at GREAT Day 2025 (Geneseo Recognizing Excellence, Achievement, and Talent Day), which featured 665 student presenters mentored by 119 faculty and staff in research, poster sessions, and creative performances.

Strategic partnerships contributed to this success. The office’s collaboration with McAllister & Quinn, a federal grant consultant firm, bolstered proposal development, while the SUNY Geneseo Research Council ensured resources were allocated strategically. Prestigious new awards included the $500,000 Mellon Foundation Award for Social Justice and the Humanities, multiple Fulbright Scholar Awards, and continued strong National Science Foundation (NSF) funding across STEM disciplines.

“These achievements reflect the professional expertise, attention to detail, and commitment of the Sponsored Research team,” said Toale. “Their efforts have produced measurable results that elevate Geneseo’s reputation and provide transformative opportunities for our students and faculty alike.”
