About

The Office of Sponsored Programs provides pre- and post-award services to the Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville campuses. We work with faculty and administrators throughout the sponsored programs lifecycle, ensuring compliance with sponsor terms and conditions and any applicable terms and conditions, regulations, and laws. Our office is responsible for the proper stewardship of sponsored programs funding and related areas of research compliance including effort reporting and subrecipient monitoring. 

Our mission is to provide helpful, timely, and accurate information and service to the UTHSC research community in support of their pursuit, acquisition, and management of of extramural funding.

The office is comprised of three teams: the Pre-Award Service Team, the Contract Negotiation Team, and the Post-Award Service Team.
