This year was the first time that both faculty and staff were invited to submit proposals that coincide with Buffalo State’s third strategic direction to "contribute to the improvement of the vitality of the community, region and state." As in the past, a focus on Buffalo's West Side was a suggested priority for grant submissions.

Congratulations to all the awardees.
