Sponsored Projects, located within the Office of Research, is responsible for reviewing, approving and submitting proposals that seek extramural grant or contract funding for research, scholarly/professional training, or related public service programs.

Sponsored Projects is also responsible for negotiating and accepting the grants and contracts (“awards”) that result from successful proposals. Once an award is accepted, however, responsibility for administering and performing awards shifts to the principal investigator(s) and the administering department.
