External Funding
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is the authorized organizational representative for government (federal, state, local) grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. We also work with individual faculty members to assist in securing research and sponsored program support from colleges and universities, hospitals, foundations, corporations, and other private entities. ORSP provides a “full service” shop that supports faculty and staff in both pre- and post-award activities from idea generation through award closeout.
