Sponsored Research and Programs Office
Mission Statement for Sponsored Research and Programs
The mission of the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs is to provide faculty with the services and resources they need to fund their creative, scholarly, service, and research efforts. The office also protects the interests of the University, departments, and faculty by ensuring compliance with sponsor rules and regulations. Our goal is to bring success to the university by providing more research opportunities for faculty and students and improving and creating programs that the university could not otherwise afford to do without external funding.
Whether you are seeking public (governmental) or private (foundation/corporate) funding, your initial contact will be with our office. Please contact Joann Waite to get your funding process started.
Our office also oversees:
- Projects involving human participation
- Institutional Review Board (IRB)
- Projects involving animal studies
- Scholarly integrity/research misconduct
- Conflict of interest
- Post-award finances and reports
