Office of Sponsored Programs

The Office of Sponsored Programs at the University of San Diego promotes externally funded research, training, and demonstration projects. It is a central source of information on government agencies, foundations, and corporations which support research and scholarship. Staff will provide assistance to faculty members, administrators, and students from conceptual development and planning through implementation and management of funded projects. Assistance is provided in identifying potential extramural funding sources; developing proposal narratives and budgets; completing standardized application forms; assuring compliance with all applicable federal, state and university regulations; negotiating grant awards and contracts; and administering and closing out funded projects.
