Welcome to the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs
Our mission is to ignite and sustain the research spark within Concordia faculty and students. Our vision is to grow the Concordia research enterprise beyond our campus by supporting each faculty and student through competitive grantsmanship, data-driven research administration, and exceptional service.
Who We Are
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) offers guidance and support to CUWAA faculty, students, and staff at both the Wisconsin and Ann Arbor campuses as they engage in research and scholarship. We help ensure successful project proposals, completion, and compliance throughout the sponsored projects lifecycle, and thorough and thoughtful research administration services.
Our office is ready to support you in accomplishing your research goals. Our main objective is to listen to your research ideas and concerns and work through them with you. Together, we will expand ideas, examine funding opportunities, and explore avenues for publication and presentation.
