The primary focus of the Office of Sponsored Research is support for faculty research through sponsored projects from federal and state agencies and some non-profit organizations. The functions of our staff include pre-award support in grant-seeking, proposal development, budget development and submission preparation, post-award management of compliance and administrative/financial issues, oversight of subawards and contracts, and faculty mentorship in all areas of the life cycle of grant and fellowship awards. Please reach out to any of our staff at any stage of the funding process.

Franklin & Marshall faculty are active, productive researchers with a strong history of success competing for external grant support. Some recent sponsors of F&M faculty research include the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, NASA, American Chemical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture and Health.

In addition to the Office of Sponsored Research, faculty also receive support for external funding from corporate, foundation, and community sponsors through the Office of Advancement. For more information, please contact Kristen Kosa, Director of Corporate, Foundation & Community Partnerships.
