Research and Publishing Resources
- Cornell Research Division: Helps the Cornell Community plan and coordinate research and represents the university in research matters as they relate to external agencies and sponsors. It supports the activities of technology transfer and economic development, research integrity and assurance, including care for research animals, and information services that support research administration.
- Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP): Offers online sources to assist faculty and research staff in identifying sources of funding.
- Cornell Pre-Award Research Operations (PRO) Team: A&S faculty and researcher PIs can request support directly through submitting a Proposal Notification form to the Pre-Award Research Operations (PRO) team. We strongly recommend that interested PIs contact the PRO team at least 4 weeks in advance of submission deadline.
- New Frontier Grants: The New Frontier Grants program aims to enable the early stages of a select number of novel, high-risk/high-impact research projects with compelling visions and strategies for transformative advances in the arts and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
- Grants Program for Digital Collections in Arts & Sciences: The program, funded by the College of Arts & Sciences and coordinated by the Cornell University Library, was developed by the Arts & Sciences Visual Resources Advisory Group.
- The Hull Memorial Publication Fund: Established in 1954 by Mary Josephine Hull for the express purpose of subventing "the cost of printing and publishing books or articles written by members of the University, of such character as shall be likely to advance its scholarly reputation in the field of liberal studies: history and political science, philosophy, language and literature."
- Open-Access Publishing Fund: Provides funding to help faculty publish in open access journals.
- Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability Academic Venture Fund: The AVF seeds original, interdisciplinary research that is not likely to find funding elsewhere because the projects are novel, risky, need early data to establish traction or involve new teams working together.

The office assists with resumes/cover letters, jobs, internships, graduate school, networking, pre-law, and career/major exploration. Students can schedule an appointment.

- Career Outcomes – every year we publish data about what Cornellians do after graduation. The College of Arts & Sciences publishes information specific to our graduates, as well as major specific reports.
- Arts & Sciences Career Development Newsletter – each week Career Development publishes a newsletter including events, employer information sessions, educational career content, and notable opportunities. Sign up to receive the weekly newsletter.
- Internship/employment/academic credit paperwork - if you receive a request from a student to sign an experiential learning contract or other employment paperwork, please review the Experiential Learning Agreements page on our website before taking any action. If you need further guidance, please email as_careers@cornell.edu.
- Partnership opportunities – Career Development is happy to partner with academic departments to provide a seamless career experience for undergraduates. Here are some of the ways that we work with academic departments. Schedule a meeting or email as_careers@cornell.edu to talk in more depth about opportunities.
- Speak in classes about career related topics
- Create career content for your department website
- Present a specialized career workshop for your department
- Career Conversations/office hours with alumni
- Vetting opportunities - as a faculty or staff member, you may receive internship, job, graduate school, or other experiential learning opportunities. It is important that these opportunities are vetted via the career office prior to being distributed to students via departmental newsletters. Vetting is an integral process and we must follow protocols established by University Counsel’s office; also, we have seen an increase in employment scams. In addition, by sharing the opportunity with Career Development we can create relationships to further promote the hiring of Cornellians, and through posting to Handshake we can ensure equal access to opportunities across majors and academic areas.
- Please send opportunities to employerscheduling@cornell.edu. Please note, we can only vet opportunities that are currently accepting applications. Please allow at least 2 business days to vet each opportunity.
