Welcome Research Faculty
WELCOME TO VILLANOVA SPONSORED RESEARCH!
The Office of Grants and Contracts (OG&C) works with investigators during submission of sponsored project proposals on behalf of the University. The Office negotiates and executes various types of research agreements, provides sponsored projects education and communication, and assists with proper stewardship of research funds awarded to the University. Also, OG&C is the only office on campus authorized to commit Villanova in application for sponsored funding.
If faculty plan to submit proposals or enter into contracts for external research with federal agencies (NSF, NIH, NASA, etc.), Private Foundations, or Industry partners, please reach out to OG&C as early as possible.
The Office of Grants and Contracts will assist faculty in establishing credentials and will provide support for the following essential research administration related systems:
