ORSP is delighted to present the very first Sponsored Programs Handbook to the MSU community. The handbook is intended to serve as a guide—a "go-to" living document for MSU faculty and staff when questions or curiosity about finding and applying for external funding might arise, or questions on award management might come up in the course of carrying out their funded projects. As the sponsored programs environment is ever changing, this handbook be updated as federal and state laws, rules, and regulations change, as well as University policies & procedures. Where further clarification is needed, members of the MSU community should always feel free to contact ORSP! We hope you find the handbook informative and useful, and encourage any and all feedback at orsp@mail.montclair.edu.
