ORSP will meet with interested Principal Investigators (PIs) to search for grants. Searches can be done through grants.gov, AASCU GRC, or other search engines by grantor agency websites. ORSP provides assistance in the submission of proposals by identifying contribution sources, reviewing budget accuracy, and ensuring compliance of grant applications with university policies and sponsor guidelines. Much of what occurs during the early stages of applying for grant funds affects ORSP’s ability to manage a grant after it is received, therefore discussions and cooperation between the investigators and ORSP is encouraged in developing programs and proposals that receive funding.
