Mission: The University of New Haven Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs (OGSP) facilitates scholarly activities by providing assistance with the identification, development, and submission of external funding proposals and the implementation of awards.  Concern for the University’s interests is demonstrated through resource management and oversight of compliance standards.

External funding support enhances faculty research, teaching, and creative activities; contributes to the experiential educational experience for University students; offers opportunities for expanded curricular, programming, and outreach activities; and provides additional visibility for innovative research and scholarly activities being conducted at the University.

Funding Opportunities

The Funding Opportunities section provides links to announcements of current opportunities and search engines, workshop handouts, as well as internal opportunities for faculty support.

Developing and Submitting a Proposal

This section will walk you through the steps of proposal development, provide forms required for proposal submission, and offer resources for proposal writing and samples of successful proposals.
