It has been said that colleges teach while universities both teach and learn. The learning dimension is essential to our role as a university, and is accomplished through research and the pursuit of scholarship.  The University of Tulsa is committed to the encouragement and support of its faculty in this pursuit.

•  The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs helps faculty obtain external funding from federal and state agencies and private industry, and also supports both faculty and students through the Faculty and Student Research Grant Programs. These programs sometimes provide faculty with seed money for larger projects and place students in a rich and challenging environment.

•   The Office of Development assists in obtaining other types of external funding, including capital projects and program developments.

Each request for external funding to support University research requires administrative approval through the individual's Department, Dean's Office, and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.

Take advantage of the facilities and services of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.  Their staff is here to help you advance your research agenda.
