established to facilitate the conduct of approved medical research at the VA
Medical Center in Syracuse. CNYRC has an administrative staff of 3 to support the approximately 35 full and part time employees conducting numerous research projects. CNYRC is one of a very small group of not-for-profits affiliated with VA medical centers that has developed its own indirect cost rate with the National Institute of Health (NIH) allowing it to administer this type of grant. CNYRC has been a very willing partner and continues to support medical research at the Syracuse VA Medical Center. This support is facilitated through the receipt and distribution of research funds origination from non-Department of Veterans Affairs. CNYRC administers all phases of research and related educational activities supported by its holdings.
CNYRC may purchase, own and dispose of equipment and supplies of approved research activities. All purchase requests must be submitted using the appropriate purchase order form and approved by the appropriate approving official. CNYRC also supports travel both domestic and foreign to scientific meetings, seminars and conferences if such travel is related to the investigator's research.
Funds received by CNYRC from such sources as but are not limited to, federal or private non-profit agencies, charitable foundations, professional societies, commercial organizations such as pharmaceutical companies, and personal contributions origination from individuals or groups. These funds can only be accepted if they meet the following criteria, that the investigator has an appointment with the VA Medical Center Syracuse and that the Research and Development Committee and all appropriate Subcommittees have approved the investigator's project and related funding. All funds accepted by CNYRC are subject to a 20% administrative assessment, which are used in support of research at the Syracuse VA Medical Center.
