ABOUT OSP: Mission Statement

The OSP staff adopted the following mission statement in 1995:

OSP provides a supportive, proactive, and dynamic environment for conducting research projects and sponsored programs by

1. stimulating interests in the intellectual life of the AU community;
2. encouraging creative approaches to the development of new opportunities;
3. promoting interdisciplinary and interdepartmental cooperation; and
4. fostering the enrichment of students and teaching.

OSP is committed to reducing the administrative burden on faculty, administrators, and staff by providing efficient, effective and personal service. Finally, through the interaction of pre-award and post-award knowledge and skills, OSP seeks to safeguard the University by ensuring compliance with internal and external regulation, policies and procedures.
