Office Of Sponsored Research and Emerging Initiatives

The mission of Fisk University is to “provides a rich academic experience steeped in the liberal arts tradition. Our faculty, staff, and students exhibit a passion for learning and personal growth."

The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs (OSP) at Fisk University serves as an advocate for sponsored research; advise the administration of matters of regulatory compliance; assist faculty, staff and students in finding funding opportunities; assist faculty with the development of proposals; and promote internal sponsorship of scholarly activities.

1) promote grant opportunities for Faculty and Staff

2) increase the number of grants awarded yearly

3) assist with the grant submittal process

4) ensure Pre-Award Process is effective and efficient

5) reassure an open relationship between OSP and PIs.
