Funding Opportunities

The Office of Research and Graduate Studies offers support to faculty throughout the life cycle of a grant, including helping identify new funding opportunities.

A few key reminders about funding opportunities:

Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) staff are the only employees authorized to submit proposals on behalf of PSU. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for external funding, please complete and submit the Notification of Intent to Submit form to notify SPA staff as soon an opportunity is identified, whether or not it is in response to a formal solicitation. SPA must be notified at least three weeks before the submission deadline.
Any opportunity designated as a "Limited Submission" requires additional coordination and authorization. These opportunities usually have internal deadlines set a minimum of 2-3 months prior to the external deadline.
