The Research and Sponsored Programs Office provides support for faculty and staff who are pursuing funding from a variety of Federal and State agencies, private foundations, and other sources. In some cases, this support consists of making faculty and staff aware of funding opportunities. In other cases, the RSP staff work directly with individuals in a variety of ways including reviewing project ideas, obtaining support from the Congressional delegation, facilitating face to face meetings with Program Officers, processing grant proposal submissions, etc.
Members of the Illinois State community are strongly encouraged to contact RSP with any questions or ideas.
