Sponsored Programs Administration

The Division of Sponsored Programs Administration and the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÆØÁÏ Research Institute serve as a central unit to coordinate and support 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÆØÁÏ’s Internal and External Sponsored Projects.

The Division aims to identify, support, and advance opportunities for research, training, teaching, and scholarly activities by managing the entire lifecycle of sponsored project – from proposal and grant development and submission, to contract preparation, award management, and project close out management. The DSPA seeks to advance extramural support programs for the institution by providing administrative, informational, and logistical assistance to faculty and staff, while ensuring compliance with pertinent policies and regulations of the institution, extramural sponsors, and federal oversight agencies.
