Faculty Research and Sponsored Programs

The Office of Faculty Research and Sponsored Programs (OFRSP) is located on the lower level of the O’Toole Library. The OFRSP offers assistance to faculty and administrators in locating, writing, and processing government grants. Also handled through the OFRSP, are internal faculty award applications such as those pertaining to fellowships and funds to do research.

You are invited to contact the Office of Faculty Research and Sponsored Programs by calling (201) 761-6300 (Debbie Kearney) or by emailing the Director, Rebecca Conley at rconley@saintpeters.edu. We will gladly discuss and provide information on all internal and external funding opportunities.
