The Office of the Vice President for Research provides administrative support for programs sponsored by grants, contracts, and other competitive awards.

Sponsored programs support hundreds of active UO research, instruction, and community service projects. Principal recipients of these funds include the centers and institutes reporting to the Vice President.
