The Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs offers many services to faculty, staff, and students in search of external funding. We start with learning about your background, experience, and interests through the use of this Research Interests Form. Through collecting this type of information, we can assist you with researching and interpreting external funding sources and guidelines, gathering information and materials, initiating contacts with program officers, or preparing applications and/or proposals.
Faculty and staff must consult with our office prior to any outreach or application for external funding. Campus personnel are strongly encouraged to complete and submit the Intent to Submit Form to initiate a grant search and proposal development process.
Subscriber services are offered by SPINPlus - the largest repository of funding available. Please call the Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs at 570-662-4809 or email the Director to utilize SPINPlus, or to discuss your project and funding concepts.
Those having involvement with grants and sponsored programs are encouraged to explore the grants management resources and maintain contact with our office to ensure efficiency and compliance.
