The Office of Grants and Sponsored Research (OGSR) is the
Pre-Award (proposal development through award) administration
office providing services for all schools and units at St. John’s
University. The OGSR provides guidance to help faculty
identify appropriate sponsors, interpret guidelines, develop
budgets, and to ensure compliance with University and sponsor
guidelines and requirements. OGSR is responsible for
coordination of the submission of sponsored project proposals on
behalf of the University.
OGSR works closely with the Office of Business Affairs regarding
post-award items, most importantly the financial management of
sponsored projects. The Office also consults regularly with
the Office of General Council, Biosafety, and the IRB on many items
relating to the conduct of a sponsored project. OGSR also
coordinates with the Office of Institutional Advancement regarding
the submission of proposals to foundations and corporate
sponsors.
The Office reports to Dr.
James Benson, Vice Provost for Graduate Studies & Research
in the Office of the Provost. OGSR works to ensure compliance
with regulatory requirements, working closely with the Office of the Provost regarding
institutional policy and procedures for the protection of human
subjects, conflict of interest and misconduct in science, and
supporting the University’s obligations under its Assurance
covering the use of animals in research, along with other
requirements imposed by federal, state and local regulatory
agencies.
In addition, OGSR also provides researchers with services
specific to the pre-award process such as Federal update sessions,
conducts training on funding
sources and the proposal submission process, new faculty
orientation, coordinates electronic preparation and submission and
administers the University’s Seed Grant/Venture
Capital Fund competition, which is held twice per year with
deadlines in Spring and Fall.
This site offers researchers and administrators a convenient and
user friendly way to retrieve information from the OGSR. In
addition, to keep the University Community informed, the OGSR
publishes updates on upcoming deadlines, funding opportunities and
policy and procedural changes in the “What’s New” section in
Faculty tools on St. John’s
Central.
