SRS Procedures

Sponsored Research Services recognizes the burden of completing forms, both institutional and agency-specific, as well as the process of gathering multiple approvals prior to submission of a proposal. Our office is here to assist you in these tasks in any way that we can. We suggest that you contact us early in the proposal preparation process, so that we may guide you in the approvals and submission process.
