Grants Office

We support faculty and administrators in acquiring and managing external funding.

Foundation Relations

We assist faculty and administrators to identify external funding sources, including foundations, corporations and government agencies, for both institutional and academic priorities. We also help prepare and submit proposals, and provide grant management support after an award has been made.
