Description
The Emergency funding program, administered by John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s Office for Advancement of Research (OAR), supports research and other scholarly activities addressing urgent or time-sensitive needs. It can fund research on disasters and other unanticipated events when a rapid response is critical.
The program also supports unexpected expenses affecting externally funded projects. Examples include expenses arising from new legislative funding priorities or grant budget cuts that could severely affect project performance. The central distinction is whether the need could have been anticipated in the normal course of research: Emergency Funds are intended for unforeseen circumstances, not needs that could have been planned for.
