Research News
Research at SUNY-ESF
Research at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry is remarkably diverse, current and challenging. Contributions are being made in fields that include aquatic ecosystems, bioenergy, biotechnology, biodiversity, ecology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, remote sensing, wildlife disease prevention, and many others. ESF is a leader in integrating the energy and excitement of research with the formal requirements of degree and certificate programs. A high percentage of undergraduates and virtually all graduate students participate in research activity as part of their educational experience.
The Office of Research Programs (ORP)
The Office of Research Programs (ORP) seeks to stimulate, facilitate and highlight research at ESF. The Dean of Research (Neil H. Ringler) and ORP staff at all levels (William J. Nicholson, Donald E. Artz, Susan E. Benoit, Theresa Baker, Donna B. Follett, Mary Anne Stanton, Theresa Kaier-May, Cheryl A. Liptak, Anne R. Brown and Linda M. Galloway), strive to make research opportunities at the College as broad and achievable as possible. We are the central resource for the initiation, funding and management of all ESF research activity. Our specific roles and responsibilities are listed here.

As per the 2009 ORP Annual Report (Blue Book), approximately 94% of the faculty are passionately engaged in more than 454 current projects that attract extramural support from federal, state, international and non-governmental sources. In 2008-2009, approximately $14.4 million was spent on externally funded research endeavors, providing not only new results, but also unique educational and experiential opportunities. Research projects engage students of all levels, postdoctoral associates, ESF faculty and external collaborators. These projects extend from sub-molecular to global levels, and many include important innovations and new processes: more than 35 active patents have been issued to ESF faculty and their students since 1983.
Our work is often carried out in distant places, such as Antarctica, New Zealand,
Russia and South America, and most projects have application far beyond the borders of New York or the United States.
Mentoring programs are expanding to enhance the opportunities of new and experienced faculty, staff and students,
both in research practice and in identification of the financial underpinnings of research programs. The coming
decade is a particularly important time in the College's research experience, as new programs and facilities in
biotechnology, natural and environmental sciences are being planned and/or completed.
The Research Foundation of State University of New York
The Research Foundation of State University of New York (RF-SUNY) is a private, nonprofit corporation under contract to the State University of New York (SUNY) for the administration of sponsored research and programs conducted by faculty and staff at SUNY's sixty-four campuses. RF-SUNY assumes fiduciary responsibility for sponsored fund activities on behalf of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
