Does your institution want to create an Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP)? Perhaps you're looking to support efforts that have already started or strengthen what's currently in place.
The OSP Seed Grant helps SuRE-qualified institutions with a desire to establish or strengthen their research infrastructure. Administered by the SuRE Resource Center, seed grants are awarded annually through a competitive application process. Fostering an Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) makes it more feasible for institutions to support faculty, increase the number of R16 grants they submit and are awarded — and provide more opportunities for their students to participate in biomedical and behavioral research.
It's important to note that funds for these grants cannot be used for faculty research purposes.
The application deadline for this year's seed grant was February 28, 2025. All applicants will be notified of funding decisions by June 2025.
