The University of West Alabama’s Office of Sponsored
Programs provides a wide
range of services to the
faculty and staff in all phases of the grant
process, including Federal,
State, Corporate, and Foundation funding sources. We offer
assistance in a variety of
sponsored program
activities, from identifying a potential source of
funding, developing
the grant application,
reviewing the award documents, and implementing the
grant.
The Office of
Sponsored Programs is located in the Choctaw Tavern
on the UWA
campus. This web site describes our
services including how to research for funding, the
basics
of getting started, links to sites of funding
sources, message board, and the newsletter.
