Resources for Researchers
The primary mission of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is to provide support to the West Virginia University community in the acquisition and administration of externally funded projects for research, teaching and service. OSP reviews, negotiates, accepts, and initiates awards on behalf of West Virginia University and the West Virginia University Research Corporation. OSP strives to provide outstanding customer service in the pursuit and administration of externally funded projects. OSP helps ensure compliance with internal and external requirements within an atmosphere of professionalism and collaboration
The Office of Research Compliance is committed to helping faculty, staff, and students comply with all applicable federal, state, and institutional requirements and policies. Research compliance areas covered by this office include Human Subjects Protections, Animal Welfare, Biosafety and Conflict of Interest.

Note: When processing grant submissions for administrative (HSC) approval, it has been the policy to allow investigator's to submit "draft" narratives in order to expedite processing. All proposals submitted to Sponsored Programs, on the other hand, need to be complete and final. We will continue processing proposals with draft narratives; however, our office will now REQUIRE that once proposals are finalized an electronic copy of the complete, FINAL proposal MUST be forwarded to the HSC Office of Research (vlemasters@hsc.wvu.edu) for our records. Failure to do so could result in HSC administration instructing Sponsored Programs to withdraw the application from the sponsor.
