Supporting Faculty and Academic Staff

Widgets

A primary mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is to support faculty and staff research, scholarship, and creative activities.

  • ORSP provides funding and administrative support for internal, external and UW system grants and programs, professional development, and sabbatical leave projects.
  • ORSP promotes faculty and academic staff professional development by presenting and mentoring in the areas of grant writing, faculty-student research collaboration, and strategic planning for scholarly success.  
  • ORSP sponsors colloquia and celebrations to highlight faculty and academic staff research, scholarly activity, and grant-seeking.

In addition to disciplinary research and creative activity, faculty and academic staff can engage in Community-Based Research. Community-based research is a form of investigation that partners 糖心Vlog faculty, staff, and/or students with agencies or organizations in the community whose central mission is not research activity nor research funding. Generally at 糖心Vlog, community-based research seeks to benefit both the academic partner(s) and the community partner. Typically, the community partner hopes to inform its programming with the data and analysis of the community-based project. The academic partners also intend for the project to contribute new knowledge and to seek presentations and publications for the work.

Community-based research is a win for all involved.

  • The community's needs are addressed,
  • Faculty careers are enhanced by presentations and publications.
  • Students learn to do research and address community needs.
