About Federal Government Relations

The Federal Government Relations Office serves as the liaison to offices and agencies of the U.S. federal government. The office coordinates governmental policy development and works to promote the University as a resource to government officials.

The Research and Sponsored Programs Office assists faculty and staff in identifying opportunities and securing federal funding by monitoring new grants as they become available as well as working with faculty once they have identified a grant to connect them with federal agencies to better their chances of a successful submission.

Ultimately, the Federal Government Relations Office works to increase the University's visibility at the national level.
