The Research Foundation of the City of New York (known as RFCUNY) is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1963. RFCUNY supports CUNY faculty and staff in identifying and obtaining external support (pre-award) from government and private sponsors and is responsible for the administration of all such funded programs (post-award).
As its name states, RFCUNY is focused in New York City and is a pretty large organization that has grant offices located in all its 25 partnered CUNY institutions. In 2021, they had 10,553 full and part-time employees.
My job title is that of RF technician: video editor and motion designer. The project I’m working on is sponsored by a NSF (National Science Foundation) grant. It falls under the Academic Affairs department.
