About Us

The mission of the Office of Sponsored Programs is to provide value-added assistance to encourage, develop and support the research, scholarship, education, creative, and community service aspirations of William Paterson University's faculty, staff, and students.

The Office of Sponsored Programs accomplishes its mission by:

Collaborating in the development of projects and leading the submission of proposals to Federal, State, and other government sponsors, grantmaking public charities, professional associations, and some commercial sponsors;
Securing and initiating awards, supporting stewardship and compliance requirements, and assisting in closing-out individual awards;

Developing, monitoring, and implementing policies to ensure compliance with sponsor expectations and regulatory requirements that are not limited to any one individual award.
