Introducing the Stipend Request

The Research Foundation of CUNY (RFCUNY) is pleased to announce the release of the latest addition to its online suite of electronic tools: the Stipend Request.

RFCUNY has developed an online solution that will allow Principal Investigators (PIs) to seamlessly initiate requesting the forms associated with Scholarship, Fellowship And Participant Support Payments (collectively referred to as “Stipends”) from the RFCUNY website on behalf of recipients without requiring the PI to have access to recipients’ personally identifiable information.

Now, PIs can keep track of these transactions and DocuSign document completion statuses in real time. Stipends Request will also provide RFCUNY’s Procurement and Payables (P&P) team with oversight, enabling verification and approvals as required throughout the submission process.

To access the request tool, an authorized user would log on to their profile on the RFCUNY website, go to the Electronic Tools menu, and select Stipend Request.

To learn more, please watch the video tutorial provided on the RFCUNY website under training resources.
