The Office of Research and Grants in the COE/Center for Educational Development and Innovation disseminates funding information, provides assistance with the processing of proposals, and assists with the negotiation of external agreements. These responsibilities include assisting with the development of the proposal narrative and budget, and post-award activities, including institutional financial management of grants, contracts, and other externally funded agreements beginning immediately after the award. Additionally, the office furthers the research agenda of the individual faculty and the College of Education through grants and contracts, and coordinates the College’s visiting faculty and the faculty sabbatical fellowship programs.
