Franklin & Marshall’s Office of College Grants (OCG) directs and guides faculty, students, and staff through external and internal grant funding opportunities to ensure F&M’s position on the leading edge of liberal arts education. Intellectually curious and creative by nature, our staff members endeavor to embody the OCG’s shared values while assisting with all stages of ideation, concept development, and the pursuit of funding from a wide variety of internal and external sources.

The OCG also oversees research administration and compliance systems and provides staffing support to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and Committee on Grants (COG). 

To effectively serve grant and fellowship seekers and other creative minds, the OCG houses staff from multiple divisions in one location: Buchanan House (Building 6) sandwiched between the Shadek-Fackenthal Library and Beau’s Dream Dog Park. A listing of staff areas of expertise is available here. 

Follow us on Twitter and check out our newsletter to learn about recent successes and upcoming opportunities and to get updates on the OCG mascot, a turtle named “Grant” (of course)!
