Welcome Message from the Executive Director of Research Administration

Welcome to the SAS Sponsored Research website! Our goal is to support the School and the University as it propels itself from excellence to eminence in its research mission. We are committed to providing SAS faculty and research administrators the tools they need to seek out opportunities for extramural funding, submit winning proposals, and manage the awards they receive with effectiveness and efficiency. I welcome your feedback on the site and any suggestions you might have regarding its content.

Proposal Support for Faculty on Broader Impacts and Outreach

Staff of the Science Outreach Initiative (SOI) which was launched in November 2011 are available for personal consultation and assistance to those interested in preparing grant proposals with an outreach or broader impacts component.

  • Science Outreach Initiative Staff contact information and details of the additional support offered by SOI can be found at the website.
  • For an extensive, searchable list of outreach programs in which faculty from across the University already participate, see the SOI Program Matrix.
  • A list of Penn faculty who are currently funded by the NSF can be found here: Penn NSF Awards.

The NSF CAREER program (Faculty Early Career Development Program) requires a particularly strong education component, which often involves extensive outreach.
