The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) provides progressive and responsive assistance in several areas of research administration including specialized educational, informational, and technological support to research administrators and faculty. OSP provides research faculty with full-service “cradle to grave” support and administration for all research contracts and grants at the Georgia Institute of Technology. We offer a robust slate of workshops and brown bags sessions plus a certificate program in sponsored research administration.
Services include review and interpretation of contract and grant requirements, determination of appropriate terms and conditions, and establishment of pre-contract agreements, as well as the monitoring of all active contracts and grants, including modification of existing agreements.
There are six functional areas are for contract administration:
- Industry Contracting
- Federal Division (NSF, NIH, DOE, NASA, etc)
- SubContracting Division
- Industry Flow Through & International Division
- Department of Defense Division
- Universities, Foundations, State and Local Government Division.
Each area is for submission of all proposal and grant applications for their sector on behalf of Georgia Tech.
