Office of Sponsored Programs

Mission

The purpose of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is to assist faculty and staff in identifying, obtaining, and maintaining external funding that support the TTUHSC mission of instruction, research, and patient care. Numerous resources are utilized to assist faculty in identifying possible funding opportunities, including the Community of Science (COS), the world's most comprehensive funding database with utilities for identifying collaborators and interactive CV updating. OSP is responsible for reviewing and approving proposals seeking external funding from federal, state, and local agencies and negotiates contractual funding agreements with such entities (with the exception of clinical trials with drug companies). Upon receipt of an award, OSP provides assistance and oversight, including budget set-up and project revisions.

OSP staff serve as administrative staff for three federally-mandated research committees: animal research (IACUC), biohazardous materials research (IBC) and recombinant DNA research (RDBC). In addition, OSP assists with several internal TTUHSC seed grant programs.
