The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs encourages faculty and staff to seek funding from external sources to support a vibrant, creative, and research-oriented community. External funding comes in many forms. There are federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Education, and others. There are also private foundations such as the Ford Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the Templeton Foundation.
ORSP is now in collaboration with Indiana University of Pennsylvania Research Institute for all your external grant needs. With their team of grant specialists to assist you in identifying funding opportunities, develop your proposal narrative and budget, submit to your institutional hierarchy for review and approval, submission to the agency, and then manage your project activities and expenditures upon receipt of an award.
IUP-RI will facilitate/offering of webinars, workshops, and other research development opportunities as well as have PI mentorship academies that are held throughout the year. These events will be sent out through email and will appear on the ORSP website so keep an eye out for those opportunities.
