Sponsored Programs are research or programmatic activities funded by external sources. Sources may include the Federal Government, the State, or Private Foundations. Awards are made by the sponsor to the University, however, the proposal author is the Principal Investigator or the Project Director.  Grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements formalize the award. Funding opportunities and collaborators are available using COS Pivot. If you would like additional information, contact the Office of Sponsored Programs today.
