Visit the ORSP website

The Rutgers Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) provides a range of services to faculty and staff seeking funding from public and private not-for-profit sponsors. ORSP staff assist faculty and departmental staff in navigating through the proposal submission and award set up process. Our grant specialists help interpret sponsor guidelines and application instructions, assist in budget development, and ensure that applications and incoming awards meet all compliance requirements. ORSP also provides institutional sign off on proposal submissions, accepts incoming awards, and negotiates a wide variety of grant-related agreements, including sub-awards to and from not-for-profit sponsors. As a part of the Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED), ORSP connects researchers and scholars to the various administrative offices that impact sponsored funding at Rutgers.
