Sponsored Projects

Welcome to Sponsored Projects

The Sponsored Projects Office (SPO) is the administrative center for sponsored projects (externally funded) for the University. SPO serves the dual function of while providing a high level of service to University faculty and staff members and protecting the University's interests in matters relating to external funding. We assist in all aspects of the proposal-from identifying funding opportunities, developing project ideas into competitive proposals, and submitting complete proposals. SPO also performs post-award functions, which include budget monitoring, financial reporting and auditing, billing of sponsored agencies, and closeout of grants.  Finally, SPO insures institutional compliance with laws, rules, and regulations inherent in externally sponsored activities and programs.

    SPO is located on the first floor of St. Joseph Hall.

  • iconFunding Sources

    Your Proposal will have the greatest likelihood of success if there is a strong match between the funder's mission and the program areas and your project. It is never a good idea to write one proposal and pitch it to a variety of funders. If you have any questions about whether your program is a good fit with a funder, please contact Mary-Ellen Fortini or Sophia Hinojosa. We can help you review the criteria and make a determination.

  • iconProposal Development

    The process for preparing proposals at SCU is described including proposal writing tips, budget and cost-share information, and required forms.
