Foundation Center Funding Information Network: Sponsored Programs

The Office of Sponsored Programs at Dixie State University serves faculty and staff who are pursuing research or other sponsored projects funded by federal, state, or private agencies and organizations. Sponsored programs are scholarly, professional, and creative activities that DSU personnel conduct with support from external funding instruments including grants, contracts, cooperative agreements or other arrangements.

What does the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs do?

• Serves every faculty/staff member in every academic discipline and research area
• Supports research, scholarship, and creative activity in a variety of ways
• Helps secure support from outside sponsors, aids in the transition of a “good idea” to a “fundable idea", and makes sure projects are conducted legally and responsibly. 

Mission Statement
