Office of Grants, Sponsored Research,
and Strategic Initiatives
The primary role of Stetson University's Office of Grants, Sponsored Research, and Strategic Initiatives is to support faculty and student research, scholarships, and the university's strategic projects such as campus-wide initiatives. The grants office assists faculty, students, and staff in their efforts to achieve funding. We research and identify funding opportunities including government, private foundations and corporate entities. Our goal is to develop a university culture that encourages, supports and advances grant seeking and success and teacher-scholar excellence.
We can assist with:
- researching and identifying funding opportunities
- developing and reviewing proposals
- interpreting guidelines
- contacting program officers
- establishing relationships with grant-making organizations
Carol G. Buckels, Director
We can also help create collaborative opportunities between University departments.
Whether your research needs are broad or specific, we can help you find funding sources; we can run foundation and government searches anytime if you are looking for a particular grant opportunity.
If you are starting to work on a proposal to an outside entity such as a foundation or government agency, please start by filling in the External Grant Form or contact the Grants department to begin the process for you. And do call our office for any assistance you might require regarding your proposal.
Grant Alert - coming soon
A new Grant Idea Form will be available soon for faculty, students, and staff to fill out and submit to the Grants department to begin the process toward a grant for equipment, programs, scholarships, conservation, or improvements, etc.
