Ohio University

Welcome to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs 

The Ohio University Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) supports faculty, staff, and students in their efforts to seek, secure, and manage extramural funding in the most accurate and efficient manner. ORSP is responsible for endorsing all proposals submitted to external agencies by the Ohio University community. Pre- and post-award staff aid in proposal development and award negotiation, ensuring alignment with sponsor guidelines and university, state, and federal policies.

• Pre-Award Services: proposal preparation & submission

• Post-Award Services: award notification, account set up, reporting

ORSP tracks proposals through the submission, review, and award process, and maintains the official record (uniterm file). The LEO Electronic Research management system provides electronic proposal approval routing, contains subsequent awards received, and prepares annual reports on grant and contract activity. For assistance accessing LEO, please contact your assigned pre- or post-award manager or Mike Bump, Records Management Specialist, 740.593.2858, bumpm1@ohio.edu.
