Welcome to the Office of Sponsored Programs
The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) at Auburn Montgomery is a service unit within the Division of Academic Affairs that assists the faculty and staff at AUM in obtaining external funds. We offer assistance across the entire field of sponsored programs activities, from identifying a potential source of funding, editing and in some cases writing the proposal, and to reviewing the terms and conditions of awards made to the institution. OSP serves as the coordinating office for externally funded research projects submitted by Auburn Montgomery. The goal of the OSP is to assist faculty and professional staff in their efforts to secure external funding.
