Who We Are

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) offers guidance and support resources to CUWAA faculty, students, and staff at both Wisconsin and Ann Arbor campuses to ensure successful project proposals, completion, and compliance throughout the sponsored projects lifecycle, and thorough and thoughtful research administration services.

Our office is made up of motivated and curious individuals 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. We love contributing to and supporting your research breakthroughs almost as much as we love cultivating research interest and skills in CUWAA students.
