Research and Sponsored Programs



Guam offers exciting research opportunities found no where else in the world.

Research at UOG is supported by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP). The ORSP supports faculty members and eligible University personnel to conduct research activities in collaboration with the various Micronesia colleges, as well as, select public and private agencies locally, nationally and internationally.  

 

Research Mission

The University of Guam’s institutional mission addresses three primary foci: teaching, research, and outreach pertinent to the western Pacific region.

The major priorities of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs are to:

  • Support faculty members and University personnel to conduct research activities and to successfully manage existing research and sponsored projects
  • Select public and private agencies locally, nationally, and internationally.
  • Seek external funding and engage in projects related to the mission and goals of the University
  • Coordinating research and management studies for the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies units on agreements with Department of Navy, NPS, and other federal agencies. Currently 2.5 million in natural resources agreement studies.
