5. Do all grant requests have
to go through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs?
The Office of Research and Sponsored
Programs (ORSP) processes all grant proposals for local funding
as well as for those that leave the UW-Eau Claire campus. The
ORSP provides information about extramural funding opportunities
at (http://www.uwec.edu/orsp/Programs/Extramural.htm).
That page includes a link to the Extramural Transmittal Form,
which is required when submitting extramural grant proposals to
the Office. The ORSP also directly manages several local and UW
System grant programs. Of these, UW System Undergraduate Teaching
and Learning Grants offer funding for teaching-learning projects.
You can find information about these internal grants at (http://www.uwec.edu/orsp/Programs/Internal.htm).
