Who we are & what we do:
The Office of Sponsored Programs assists the JMU community with applying for and receiving external funding. We ensure submitted applications comply with sponsor, state, and JMU policies regulations. Our main role is to help you through JMU’s internal approval process for grants. We also function as representatives of the university and handle the signing of documents on its behalf. After an award, we continue to assist PIs by submitting prior authorizations/prior approvals, including no cost extensions, budget revisions, and more. We also facilitate non-financial reporting.
We work closely with the Office of Research Development, Sponsored Programs Financial Administration, and Corporate and Foundation Relations.
What is a sponsored program?
A sponsored program is restricted external funding, in contrast to a gift, which is unrestricted. If a program requests a statement of work or financial reporting, it's almost certainly a sponsored program and not a gift. You can find more details on our sponsored program submission page.
