The role of Research and Sponsored Programs is critical to the success of the Universities of Wisconsin. These offices support awareness of funding opportunities, development of proposals of institutional interest, compliance with internal and external guidelines, and guidance through the funding process. To advance this important work, the UW system facilitates and sustains all 13 Research and Sponsored Program offices.
