Overview
Ramapo College of New Jersey considers the creation of new knowledge through research and the dissemination of this knowledge to society important aspects of its mission. The Board of Trustees and administration support and encourage the enhancement of teaching and learning through research and other creative activities. The purpose of research at Ramapo College is threefold: (1) to advance and produce new knowledge, (2) to educate students and (3) to disseminate knowledge. The College recognizes that teaching and research are essential academic activities and that research is essential to good teaching. Accordingly, the faculty is expected to be actively engaged in research, scholarly activities and grants development.
The Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs has been charged with managing the campus wide system of grant seeking. This area has specific responsibility for identifying and seeking funds for research and sponsored programs, and for pre- and post-award management of grants and contracts. This includes responsibility for pre-award activities that begin with the identification of funding sources and proceeds through proposal submission, award negotiation and execution. Additionally, this office participates in the negotiation and interpretation of intellectual property terms in grants and contracts in order to ensure that the rights of sponsors and developers of technology are protected. Sub-awards are also prepared and negotiated by this office.
The Grants Management Officer has the responsibility for managing all expenditures from grants and contracts and ensuring the appropriate expenditure of public and private funds received for research and sponsored programs. The Grants Management Officer also monitors the submission of required technical and financial reports.
