Support Cornell research

Research at risk

Federal actions are putting Cornell’s research at risk. Terminated grants, stop-work orders, and non-payment for federally contracted work are disrupting progress and casting uncertainty over projects that fight disease, fuel economies, and make our world safer and more resilient.

How your gift makes a difference

The Provost’s Research Resiliency Fund was established to help Cornell navigate this new and shifting financial reality. Administered by Provost Kavita Bala, this unrestricted fund enables the university to respond in real time to evolving needs—bridging funding gaps, covering essential research costs, providing temporary assistance to projects that cannot pause, and supporting the research staff and students who make discovery possible.

  • $1.8
    million    In just the first two months, the fund received $1.8 million in the form of flexible, ready-to-use gifts. 
  • 22
    researchers    Collectively, gifts have already assisted 22 researchers who received award terminations.

Kavita Bala, dean, Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.

“Research at Cornell changes lives and shapes our world, but just as important, it invests hope in a better tomorrow. Every dollar that supports discovery at Cornell brings our world closer to new cures, better and more ethical technologies and breakthroughs that build a more resilient future.”
—Provost Kavita Bala
