Sponsored Programs

The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) serves as the coordinating office for externally funded research projects submitted by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). The goal of OSP is to assist faculty, researchers and professional staff in their efforts to secure external funding.

What We Do

  • The OSP staff provides technical assistance to Principal Investigators/Project Directors (PI/PD) during proposal preparation (budget, special instructions, etc...) and servers as an information source for and monitors compliance with applicable University and sponsor policies and requirements.
  • Reviews proposals before submissions to the sponsor and advises the PI/PD of any omissions, necessary corrections or other items that may strengthen the presentation to the funding agency and handles all administrative matters with sponsor.
  • OSP works closely with the Office of grants and Contracts once a project has been funded.

Announcements

The Intent to Submit (ITS) form will be removed as of Thursday, August 1st. The Office of Sponsored Program is happy to announce that the ARGO Sponsored Program Intake (SPI) form is now available to faculty and staff that submit research proposals in a user-friendly automated system. The SPI will replace the Intent to Submit (ITS) and Proposal Transmission Form (PTF) and can be used immediately. Please visit ARGO and log in with your UTRGV credentials. If you have questions or would like to request training, please contact the OSP office.

Our office will begin budgeting at this rate immediately.

For any questions or concerns regarding your proposal deadline or your active federal grant, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at sponpro@utrgv.edu.

As of March 19 th, 2021, UTRGV has negotiated an updated Indirect Cost Agreement (IDC). 

NOTE: Applications that were submitted around this time may require additional action before the project can begin. Funding agencies set final budget and terms only when (and if) a grant is funded, and agencies require UTRGV to use the latest negotiated IDC rates. The office of Sponsored Programs has been working with faculty to help adjust the budgets appropriately to meet agency expectations. If you have any questions, or would like to know if you are affected, please reach out to us. The new IDC is incorporated into the latest budget template.

Any staff salaries should be budgeted at least at the 25th percentile of the salary range to allow for appropriate salary placement.
