The Office of Sponsored Programs and Grant Support assists Wilkes University and its faculty in securing external funding for research and sponsored programs, including grants, contracts, and cooperative arrangements.
Faculty who anticipate a proposal submission should contact the Office of Sponsored Programs as early in the process as possible, especially if they will need assistance with identifying funding opportunities, or if they are considering a multi-year proposal or a collaborative proposal with another institution. At a minimum, 3-4 weeks are required to process applications or proposals that are relatively small in scope and budgetary requirements. Depending on the nature of the project and need for assistance, a faculty member may require consultation and assistance from the Office for several weeks or even months.
An internal review form and appropriate budget form must be completed before a proposal can be submitted.
Wilkes University also provides modest funding for faculty projects through the Faculty Development Committee and the Mentoring Committee.
