ORSP - External & Internal Grants
External Funding
ORSP is here to help SSU faculty and staff secure funding for research, creative, and educational projects. If you are seeking resources from external (off campus) funding sources, we can:
- Help identify suitable sponsors - see the ORSP Funding Sources Links page, or contact us for a customized search of funding opportunities;
- Assist with proposal development;
- Provide guidance on University policies regarding grants and contracts;
- Route proposals through the SSU endorsement process.
Please note that all proposals for external funding must be routed for SSU institutional endorsement before submission. See ORSP’s Proposal Process Routing Procedures for details.
