The Office of Sponsored Programs is here to help position Clemson University and its faculty to successfully compete for external funds through the provision of consistent, efficient and transparent systems and services delivered by highly-skilled research administration professionals in the spirit of collaboration. OSP is the pre-award office of the Division of Research and provides oversight of grant proposal submissions, award acceptance, and negotiation of non-disclosure, material transfer, and other research-related agreements. Each College has a support center. Please visit your college support center to begin your proposal. The Support Center button on the left will direct you to the page.

In August 2022, the federal Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued the Nelson memo, which directs all federal agencies to implement plans requiring public access to federally funded research by December 31, 2025. As stated in the memo, “when federally funded research is available to the public, it can improve lives, provide policymakers with important evidence with which to make critical decisions, accelerate the rates of discovery and translation, and drive more equitable outcomes across every sector of society.”
Effective January 30, 2023, federal agencies are implementing new requirements for what types of support and affiliations must be disclosed on the current and pending document and the biosketch submitted with all applications for funding.
