The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) at NEOUCOM exists to support a culture of intellectual curiosity and scholarly activity on the campus and consortium. The ORSP advises and assists members of the NEOUCOM Community who are engaged in scholarly and creative activities. ORSP provides information, services and support above and beyond what is available from traditional departmental sources, so that members of the NEOUCOM Community may in times of need and opportunity compete successfully for outside funding to conduct scientific, educational and clinical research. In accomplishing this mission, ORSP ensures accountability, compliance and stewardship for sponsored progra ms as directed by the values of the office and by all applicable Federal, State, and University policies, procedures and regulations.

We hope to encourage and support scholarship both by providing internal funds to help faculty members launch research projects and also by providing support for faculty members seeking external funding of research efforts.
