About Our Office

When pursuing sponsored projects and doing research at Ball State, there are two offices housed in one building you should know about: the Sponsored Programs Offices (SPO) and the Contracts and Grants Office (CGO) .

SPO helps you find research opportunities, assists with the development of your proposal, and is responsible for submission of the proposal package. CGO works with you after you've secured a grant award.

SPO is primarily responsible for these major administrative areas:

• Funding Information Services
• Proposal Development
• Proposal Budgets and Cost-Sharing
• Proposal Submission and Clearance
• ASPiRE Internal Grants
• Research Recognition and Dissemination

SPO also helps you address:

• Research Compliance
• Technology Transfer
