New Faculty Resources

There are a number of online resources available to search for funding and contract opportunities. Set up a customized search using Pivot. Contact [email protected] to learn more.

For assistance in preparing a proposal, GW’s Research Enhancement Unit provides training, forums for collaboration, and consulting/editing services. Watch out for a Pre Award Grant Development Boot Camp.

Once you have applied for funding, prepare for your award:

• Work with your department administrator, research administration pod, or finance director to request access to GW’s Enterprise Accounting System (EAS) (pdf). EAS access is required for all active principal investigators.
• Complete Research Integrity & Compliance Training
• Attend the Post Award Management Boot Camp, to learn more about processes at GW

GW uses a “pod” model for sponsored research administration. Each pod supports two or more schools and their affiliated research centers and institutes. Pods manage the complete lifecycle of a sponsored research project and provide continuity from inception to award closeout.

The pods are school-led and include both school and central research administrators. Each pod has pre-award, post-award and contracting functions. All Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) staff report to the central office, including the pre-award, post-award and contracting officers that are embedded within the pods.
