Mission and Purpose
The College of Liberal Arts provides pre- and post-award support to faculty who seek funding for their research, creative, or programmatic activities.
We coordinate with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to secure and administer the following: grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, fellowships, research gifts, Research Enhancement Program (REP) grants, Multidisciplinary Internal Research Grants (MIRG), and other sponsored projects.
The primary mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is to support and promote the research and scholarly creative activity needs of the faculty and staff while ensuring compliance and scholarly integrity.
