ORSP Guide Book

ORSP Guide Book

The mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is to support faculty, staff, and students in the pursuit of academic, scholarly, and creative excellence as they seek external funding, to provide leadership in matters of compliance and research ethics, and to create opportunities that elevate research and the creative arts on our campus in line with MTSU’s mission and to serve our community.

In performing its functions, ORSP works closely with faculty, department chairs and administrators, as well as several University administrative offices. The department serves as the prime contact point for sponsors and subrecipients on the business and compliance related issues associated with sponsored projects.

This Guide to Sponsored Research was designed to give an overview and general guidance to faculty and administrators on obtaining funding and administering sponsored projects through closeout.

As you use it while performing or administering sponsored projects, we would appreciate any comments or suggestions you would like to make the Guide as useful as possible.
