Rowan University Office of Sponsored Programs

Office of Sponsored Programs

The mission of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is to provide Rowan University faculty and staff with relevant information and guidance for proposal submissions to federal, state, and industry sponsors. All proposed projects must receive institutional approvals via the Cayuse grants management software and be reviewed by an OSP Proposal or Contracts Specialist prior to submission. This includes projects where Rowan will be a subaward to another institution and incoming grant transfers.

The Office of Sponsored Programs is authorized to submit proposals and receive awards from external funding sources on behalf of researchers at Rowan University. We offer a broad array of Pre-Award services, including:

Interpret proposal submission guidelines
Assist with budget preparation, ensuring adherance to university, state, and sponsor allowability
Determine subrecipient eligibility per 2 CFR 200
Facilitate internal approvals required for proposal submission
Verify proposal package accuracy and completion
Perform pre-award regulatory compliance checks
Submit proposals and coordinate Just-in-Time (JIT) requests
Negotiate subaward contracts and modifications
Initiate Pre-to-Post Award handoff for award setup and management
Oversee the university's research administration suite, Cayuse

Our goal is to enable researchers to focus on research by providing them with friendly, professional, and competant administrative support.
