History of OSP

In 2000, Ted DeLaca, Vice Provost for Research reorganized the Office of Arctic Research to create the Office of Sponsored Programs. This reorganization was driven by the following needs at UAF:

• Coherent management of pre-award administration;

• Consolidation and improvement of information access and internal and external communications;

• Enhancement of proposal development for the campus;

• Development of an electronic grants administration capability;

• Development of a Research Integrity Office for the campus;

• And, creation of a campus-wide facility for advanced instrumentation and the evolution of ADVAL into a support component of the developing data and teaching center for remote sensing.
