About Our Office
The Contracts and Grants Office (CGO) is the unit within the Business Affairs area of Ball State University that has the responsibility for post-award administration of sponsored programs. The
Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) works with faculty and staff in the pre-award process. Once the researcher or project director has completed the clearance process through the SPO, documenting all necessary pre-award review/approvals, and after an external sponsor has awarded funds for the project or study, the CGO’s work begins.
