At Ramapo College we are fortunate to receive funding from federal and state agencies, as well as private organizations, to support scholarship, creative work, teaching, research, and student support services (“sponsored programs”). While Ramapo College is the legal recipient of the award on behalf of the institution, you as Project Lead (Principal Investigator (PI) or Project Director (PD)) are responsible for conducting the work.

The central mission of the Office of Grants and Sponsored Programs and Grants Accounting is to ensure that you have all of the necessary tools at your disposal to apply for and manage a successful sponsored project. To this end, we provide the following services:

• Understanding Ramapo College grants policies and procedures 
• Locating potential funding sources
• Interpreting guidelines set forth by the funding agency
• Obtaining administrative approvals
• Obtaining documentation related to fringe rates, indirect cost rates, and audits
• Developing project goals and objectives 
• Developing and justifying budgets
• Preparing, editing, and reviewing your proposal
• Finalizing and submitting your proposal
• Fiscal management
• Award Close Out
• Follow-up reporting required by the funding agency
