The Office of  Sponsored Programs' mission is to further research and scholarship through comprehensive and client-centered support of University faculty, staff and students. We work closely with the Office of Research Integrity and Protections, and Technology Transfer and Industrial Development, our sister departments in the Office of Research. Our staff also interacts with other University offices and departments to support sponsored activities, including Sponsored Accounting, Corporate Relations, Foundation Relations, Environmental Health and Safety, Risk Management, Purchasing and Disbursements.  We strive to maintain productive relationships with faculty and department staff to support and to promote the efficient conduct of awarded projects and the responsible stewardship of sponsor’s funds.
