The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is the resource for investigators at Kent State for all aspects of externally funded sponsored projects, including:
- Assistance in identifying funding from sources outside of the university.
- Facilitation and authorization of proposal submission.
- Negotiation and acceptance of agreements of behalf of the university.
- Oversight and guidance for administration of all sponsored projects from government agencies, private industry, and non-profit funding agencies, in compliance with all applicable regulations.

- Contact OSP with intention to submit a proposal at least ten working days before the submission deadline.
- Finalize and route the Kuali budget for internal approvals no later than five working days before the submission deadline.
- All proposals documents should be in near-final draft two days before the submission deadline.
