We encourage faculty to apply for grants, fellowships, and other external sources of funding. Your colleagues at College Grants and Sponsored Programs will work with you closely as you locate opportunities, prepare and submit applications, and navigate the administration of grants and fellowships. All external funding applications must be submitted through College Grants and Sponsored Programs.
