Abstract

The OSPR supports the GovState community by securing external funding in the form of grants and contracts and by facilitating faculty and staff involvement in research, community outreach, student support and other creative activities. OSPR oversees pre-award and post-award externally funded grant and contract activities and coordinates institutional review boards for research with human and animal subjects.

OSPR delivered a strong Fiscal Year 2024, requesting new grant funding in the amount of $19,998,017 and managing $28,826,977 in active awards. We also made advances to streamline collaborative research projects by joining the SMART IRB platform, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and designed to facilitate reliance agreements for multisite research. In March 2024, OSPR conducted a survey of faculty research needs. The purpose of the survey was to identify areas where support for faculty research may be improved and to inform the university’s future decisions about supporting our research enterprise. Throughout the year, we supported the university community with trainings in proposal development, grant management and ethical research. The following pages provide a detailed account of OSPR accomplishments.
