Faculty Resources
Sponsored Programs & Compliance Update
We are excited to share that beginning January 2, 2026, the Office of Sponsored Programs and the Office of Integrity and Compliance will be shared among the CSU System.
We will provide more updates here as they become available. In the meantime, continue to work with Abby Gade in Research and Sponsored Programs.
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs works to connect faculty with resources and information to support their own research-related professional growth.
The grant process follows a lifecycle that includes Proposal Development, Review & Submission, Award Receipt, Award Administration, and Closeout.
The specific actions along the lifecycle are grouped into three main phases. Each of the three phases has its own page that provides a more detailed look at the process:
- Pre-Award Phase
- Award Phase
- Post-Award Phase
