Welcome to the CGU Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP)! This office serves a variety of campus needs and objectives relating to research and other academic activities that are supported by external sponsors. The Office serves four principal functions:

• We support CGU faculty in preparing and submitting grants and contracts for extramural funding involving government agencies and collaborating universities, colleges, medical centers, and scholarly associations.
• We administer selected internal funding programs that support faculty and student research and program initiatives.
• We implement CGU policies on intellectual property and research integrity.
• We support the CGU Institutional Review Board (IRB).The IRB oversees the protection and ethical treatment of participants in faculty and student research projects at CGU, Harvey Mudd College, and Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences.

ORSP has institutional authority to transmit and execute external grant and contract proposals. The proposal support services offered include funding and information searches; budget development; advice on proposal strategies; assurances, certifications, and procedural compliance; formatting and packaging; and electronic assembly and submission.We work closely with the Office of Advancement and the Office of Contracts and Grants, and we offer workshops within the campus community on request, in any area of staff expertise.
