Mission & Focus Areas

Barnard’s stated mission is to provide a high-quality liberal arts education to promising and high-achieving young women, with the advantages of a residential college in partnership with a major research university. Its filing describes post-secondary education, including tuition, housing, dining, health and counseling services, and auxiliary enterprises such as summer and precollege programs.

The 2025 grants listed include support for university research in astrophysics, gamma-ray astronomy, mental-health-related research, privacy, and labor and family policy, as well as a science pathways program. These grant purposes show activities supported in that year; they do not establish an exclusive funding focus. Among the recipients, BioBus says its mission is to help minority, female, and low-income K–12 and college students in New York City discover, explore, and pursue science. Georgia Tech Research Corporation says it supports Georgia Institute of Technology research, technical assistance, and economic development. The George Washington University describes itself as a research university with a Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, Barnard reported 12 grants totaling $721,229. Individual grants ranged from $5,314 to $162,036, with a median of $40,304.

The largest listed awards were $162,036 to the University of Maine for “NSF CAT 2021,” $149,988 to the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System for development of a wide-field-of-view camera for the Schwarzschild-Couder Gamma Ray Telescope, $106,379 to the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene for “Time and Associative Learning,” and $91,733 to Columbia University for particle astrophysics research with VERITAS. Other listed recipients included the University of Alabama, the George Washington University, the University of Houston, Washington University in St. Louis, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, Duke University, and BioBus.

Barnard’s website describes the Barnard Library Research Award as a $3,000 award for research using collections at Barnard Library, the Barnard Zine Library, or Barnard Archives. Eligible applicants include undergraduate and graduate students, non-Barnard faculty, journalists, independent scholars, artists, and organizers; current Barnard and Columbia affiliates are ineligible, while alums are eligible. Award money may support research-related needs such as travel, housing, or family care, and awardees are expected to submit a short summary of their research experience. The website states that applications are not currently being accepted. Its listed 2024/25 award cycle is past.

Barnard’s faculty research office says that external funding applications for projects by the college or its faculty are handled through its Institutional Funding and Sponsored Research office. The college requires faculty to route all external funded projects through that office, and proposals require approval from the Provost and Dean of the Faculty at least three days, ideally four, before the grant deadline. Required submission materials include application materials, a grant or fellowship routing form, and a budget.
