The Summerville Interdisciplinary Research Office (SIRO) is pleased to provide this
easy to use resource for faculty and staff to find information to aid in their professional
growth and development related to research.
Our office reaches across colleges, to assist researchers on all campuses in learning
about research practices and to find collaborative groups. This will also be a source
for introducing faculty to the SIRO where we help to identify funding opportunities,
develop proposals, and manage post award for grants, as well as oversight for the
conduct of research project and/or contract.
If you’re new to research or new to Augusta University, we suggest you begin by looking
through our various offices, policies and resources related to research. These will
help you become familiar with general research practices.
I work to develop a culture of research that spans across disciplines through the
development of research infrastructure in the areas of humanities, education, business,
and science research. Contact me if you want to collaborate with other researchers
or have general questions about getting involved in research.
I support Augusta University investigators across colleges to develop and submit research
grants and contracts. I encourage faculty to visit the Summerville Interdisciplinary
Research Office to learn more about identifying funding opportunities, proposal development,
and the management of post-award activities.
To assist faculty in identifying potential sponsors, the Department of Sponsored Programs
Administration provides access to sponsor web sites, an alphabetical listing with
links directly to sponsor home pages, and to Grants.gov, announcements of funding
