Reporting to the Associate Vice Provost for Research, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and its Contract Office (CO) provides pre-award and non-financial post award research administration service and support to all departments, schools, research centers and institutes at the Washington Square campus as well as all of NYU’s global sites, including NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai.

OSP supports the development of competitive proposals and the proactive management of grant and contract awards for basic applied research, training and other sponsored activities funded by public and private not-for-profit sponsors including corporations and foundations.

OSP’s philosophy, mission and decision making focuses on partnerships across the University to provide an effective and efficient infrastructure resulting in decreases in administrative burden for faculty so that we may collectively maximize the time researchers spend advancing research and discovery at New York University.
