AAMU Faculty, Staff, & Student Research Funding

At Alabama A&M University (AAMU), grants are submitted through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP). The ORSP is the central administrative office that supports and manages the university’s externally funded research and sponsored projects. The ORSP supports the overall AAMU research effort and encourages long-term stable funding commitments through facility and equipment enhancement, improved research management, and strengthened faculty and administrative involvement. Its key functions include:

• Promoting and facilitating externally funded research and programs by helping faculty, staff, and students pursue grants and contracts that support research, training, and public service.
• Assisting with proposal development and submission, including reviewing proposals for compliance with sponsor and university policies before they’re submitted.
• Implementing and monitoring research administration policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and institutional regulations.
• Providing guidance and support on funding opportunities, regulatory requirements, and best practices in research administration.
• Strengthening research capacity at AAMU by enhancing communication, professional development, and long-term funding strategies.
