Office of Sponsored Programs and Contracts Management

The Office of Sponsored Programs and Contract Management (OSPCM) assists faculty, staff and students to obtain externally funded research and educational program support. We are the central source of information on major government agencies, foundations, and corporations that support research. We are here to provide assistance to faculty and staff from development and planning through implementation and post-award administration. Our services include assisting in identifying potential extramural funding sources; developing budgets; completion of applications and assuring compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations as well as assist in contract negotiations with corporations.

The OSPCM is divided into two major components: Pre-Award: that provides assistance to faculty and staff applying for external grant and contract support, ensuring the timely submission to meet all deadlines; and Post-Award: that establishes the grant, once awarded, in the University’s computerized operating system and assists in the daily monitoring and management of the financial aspects of the projects including preparing invoices for contracts, interim and final financial reports.

The OSPCM does not administer gifts to the University from individuals, foundations or corporations. These are obtained and managed through the University’s Advancement Office.

You may reach the Office of Sponsored Programs and Contract Management by calling  +1 (909) 469-5567. The fax number is (909) 469-5569.
