Welcome to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

ORSP provides information, services, and support so that members of the UALR Community may compete successfully for outside funding to conduct scientific research; create works of art; compose music; write books and articles; improve their performance in the classroom; and better serve their students, professions, and the public.

In accomplishing this mission, ORSP ensures accountability, compliance, and stewardship for sponsored programs as directed by all applicable Federal, State, and University policies, procedures and regulations. ORSP also supports the fiscal management of funded projects to reduce the administrative load on researchers, project directors, and departmental support staff.
