Office of Sponsored Projects

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 identifying appropriate funding opportunities, submitting competitive proposals and managing successful projects.

NIH

As of January 25, 2022, researchers will need to follow the NIH's updated guidance for the Biographical Sketch and Other Support Format pages for use in applications and Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPR). For additional information on these upcoming changes and how they will affect sponsored projects, please view our NIH Other Support page.

NIH announces a new inbox for inquiries related to changes to Biographical Sketch and Other Support Format pages (NOT-OD-21-122). Effective as of this announcement, please send inquiries related to changes to the biographical sketch and other support templates to [email protected].

NSF

Updated NSF Award Conditions (PDF), consistent with the revised 2 CFR §200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Award, will apply to all new NSF awards and funding amendments to existing awards made on or after November 12, 2020.

The Sponsored Projects Lifecycle

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.

A Collaborative Approach

The OSP team works closely with investigators, school-based research staff and administrators across campus to ensure success and compliance throughout all phases of a sponsored project.

GW is closely monitoring and responding to the impacts of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

In response to GW's strategic initiative to enhance the research experience, the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR) is spearheading the implementation of myResearch, an enhanced electronic research administration (eRA) tool.
