The role of the University Grant Agency (UGA) is to promote scientific, artistic and other creative activities of young university teachers, researchers up to 35 years of age and full-time PhD students. The University Grant Agency provides focused financial grants for the projects based on the project assessment results within Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra.

The University Grant Agency was established by the Scientific Council of the University in 2009, and its scope is determined in the Statute of the University Grant Agency.

The Board of Directors acts as a supreme body of the University Grant Agency. It consists of the Chairman, Vice-Chairmen and Committee Chairs.

UGA has 10 specialist committees, which examine the applications and issue evaluation reports.
