Programs sponsored by federal, state and private agencies represent a significant and important financial resource to the University, and enable it to carry out its principal missions of teaching, research and public service. The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) and the Division of Grant and Contract Accounting (DGCA) were established to assist faculty members in their efforts to obtain and administer externally sponsored programs in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the programs. The procedural efforts of ORSP and DGCA are intended to ensure that the University remains in good programmatic and financial standing with these sponsors and, thereby, encourage a steady source of funding for the University and its faculty.
