Supporting Collaborative Research
The Office of Sponsored Projects supports faculty and staff throughout the entire lifecycle of the award, from application to non-financial closeout. For information on financial closeout, visit the SPFA webpages.
Faculty and other University staff who receive any part of their salary through the University, or whose activities use any University resources or facilities, must submit proposals for extramural funding through the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP). This office reviews and approves proposals to government agencies (local, state, federal), for-profit and non-profit sponsors prior to submission.
It is considered a University policy violation to submit proposals related to research, instruction, and/or public service from Yale University without the oversight and approval of OSP. Therefore, Principal Investigators (PIs) are advised to contact either your departmental pre-award manager or OSP as soon as possible if an informal discussion with a sponsor about future funding escalates to the sponsor requesting a scope of work and a budget. This information should not be provided to the sponsor, even informally, without prior review by OSP.
