Grants, Sponsored Research and Strategic Initiatives
The primary role of the Office of Grants, Sponsored Research, and Strategic Initiatives is to assist faculty, students and staff in their efforts to achieve funding through external grants for research, community initiatives and strategic projects.
We support the entire grant cycle, from the identification of funding sources (including government, private foundations, and corporate entities) to application submission, compliance, and reporting. Our goal is to develop a university culture that encourages, supports, and advances grant seeking and success.
View our Introduction to Grants presentation, below.
If you're interested to start work on a proposal to an external entity such as a foundation or government agency, please read the instructions to the First Alert Policy, then submit a First Alert Grant Advisory Form (below). Our office requires lead time prior to an application deadline for internal signature approvals and application review. Please be mindful of this process by sending this form as soon as possible. If you need assistance with this form or have general grant related questions, contact Eve Payor at [email protected] in the Office of Grants, Sponsored Research, and Strategic Initiatives.
