The Office of Sponsored Programs assists with the development and processing of proposals for sponsored projects, including submission to funding agencies and administrative help throughout the life of the project.
Each department and center has a designated pre-award project administrator who will handle all proposals regardless of sponsor. Once awarded, project administration is assigned by sponsor and a finance team is responsible for revenue collections and account reconciliations.

The Office of Sponsored Programs strives to be true to its mission of providing outstanding service to the faculty and staff in their pursuit and administration of external funding. The office provides full service throughout the lifecycle of a project, from preliminary budget review to award closeout. Our office structure is organized into pre-award and post-award. The pre-award teams handle the preliminary review and approval of all proposals as well as the negotiation and establishment of all awards. The post-award teams handle the administration of the awards including billing and closeout of the awards.
Our office is located in Suite 2006 of Research Building XV at the Corporate Research Center. If you have suggestions or comments on how our office could be more responsive, please call or email me at 231-5281 or
