Portland State University offers a wide variety of research support services to faculty members, students and staff engaged in, or interested in engaging in sponsored projects. Our Research Administration team provides resources to identify internal and external funding opportunities, reviews and approves all sponsored proposals and drafts, negotiates and signs all sponsored grants and contracts. Divisions within Research Administration are also responsible for compliance and regulatory matters related to sponsored research including human subjects research, animal care and use, biological safety, conflict of interest and export controls. This page connects researchers to those resources.
