The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs partners with faculty and staff to identify internal and external funding sources, interpret sponsor guidelines and requirements, and to assist with proposal submission.
Please notify ORSP as soon as you decide to submit an application for external funding. Approved campus research policy requires full applications be submitted to our office at least two weeks before external deadlines to allow for processing paperwork, collecting approvals, assuring compliance of the application or contract with funding agency reqs, OBFS Risk Management, and UI legal counsel, uploading documents into online portal, and correcting any errors detected by our office or the online system. Pre-proposal applications without budget requirements will be accepted with a minimum of 4 business days’ notice.
