Sponsored Programs Administration
The Division of Sponsored Programs Administration and the Augusta University Research
Institute serve as a central unit to coordinate and support Augusta University’s Internal
and External Sponsored Projects.
The Division aims to identify, support, and advance opportunities for research, training,
teaching, and scholarly activities by managing the entire lifecycle of sponsored project
– from proposal and grant development and submission, to contract preparation, award
management, and project close out management. The DSPA seeks to advance extramural
support programs for the institution by providing administrative, informational, and
logistical assistance to faculty and staff, while ensuring compliance with pertinent
policies and regulations of the institution, extramural sponsors, and federal oversight
agencies.
