The Office of Associate Dean for Research and Sponsored Projects (ADR-OSP) facilitates the research endeavors of the faculty and research scholars of the Columbia University School of Social Work. Our objectives are to encourage and promote grant development activity and productivity among faculty and research scholars.

The ADR-OSP assists in the preparation of grant proposals and aids principal investigators in the management of sponsored projects. Additionally, the office disseminates information about current funding opportunities and provides mentoring in the grants process.

In its mentoring capacity, the ADR-OSP identifies areas in which faculty and research scholars need support and address these needs through focused workshops, presentations and individual consultation. The ADR-OSP facilitates interaction between junior and more experienced faculty within the School and University to promote learning and collaboration.
