Sponsored Programs Administration Office
The Office of Sponsored Programs Administration (OSPA) is responsible for the administration of all externally sponsored activities, including research, training, instruction and service projects funded by governmental entities, private non-profit organizations and industry sponsors.
Pre-Award Management
For inquiries and questions related to the pre-award management of your sponsored projects, including proposal development, submission and award negotiations, please contact your assigned OSPA Specialist.
Post-Award Financial Management
For questions related to the post-award financial management of your sponsored projects, including financial transactions, billing, invoicing, financial reporting, cash management and closeout, please contact the accountant listed on the OSPA Assignment Matrix.
The OSPA Assignment Matrix identifies the appropriate contact for your sponsored project and should be used to ensure questions are directed to the appropriate team.
