ORSP Standard Operating Procedures and Policies
Find a list of policies and procedures for working with the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects.
The Office of Research and Sponsored Project’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) communicate to campus stakeholders the policies and procedures they must follow when interacting with the office. Several SOPs detail required pre- and post-award procedures for project teams working with the eRPM system. Others dictate policy on issues that implicate or assign responsibility to ORSP, such as gift vs. sponsored project determinations and reporting related to sexual harassment. For questions about an SOP, contact ORSP.
