The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) supports the university’s research mission by providing oversight of externally-sponsored research. OSP assists researchers with submitting competitive proposals and managing successful projects.
Each sponsored project follows a similar course from initial concept and development of a competitive proposal, to negotiating and setting-up the award in GW systems, through management of the award and submitting final reports to the sponsor.
The OSP team works closely with investigators, research administration pods, school-based research staff and administrators across campus to ensure success and compliance throughout all phases of a sponsored project.
