Office of Research, Sponsored Programs & Grants
Welcome to the CGU Office of Research, Sponsored Programs & Grants (ORSPG). We serve various needs relating to research, evaluation, other extramurally-funded projects, and related academic activities. Our primary missions are to be the focal point for relationships with external sponsors, promote the ethical conduct of research, and seed local research initiatives.
Sponsored funding via grants, contracts, fellowships, and cooperative agreements — the principal categories of awards — flows from government agencies, foundations, other universities and colleges, medical centers, and scholarly associations. (For lists of recent awards, see below.)
Ethical guidance in the conduct of research is aligned with principles and procedures that have been developed by national and international commissions, professional organizations, and regulatory agencies.
Seed funding for faculty and students comes from the generosity of CGU’s donors and benefactors. Funds are distributed via competitive internal awards to both faculty and students at varied stages of their academic journey.
We work closely with Post Award Grants, the Office of Advancement, the Provost’s Office, the schools and other academic units, and individual faculty and student research investigators. Our house has many doors and windows.
