The mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is to create and support a campus culture that promotes the research enterprise. ORSP assists the campus community to apply for and secure external funds in support of research, scholarship, and creative activities. The office provides guidance, information, and technical assistance to faculty engaged in externally funded research, instruction, community service, and other scholarly activity. In accomplishing this mission, ORSP ensures accountability, compliance, and stewardship for sponsored programs as directed by the values of our campus and by all applicable Federal, State, and University policies, procedures, and regulations.

The 2023-24 Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity Grant Program is OPEN. Information about the 2023-24 RSCA Program Competition is available through the InfoReady website. These awards are limited to Unit 3 faculty to promote the development of new or expanded research, scholarship, and creative activities by faculty. Overall, proposals receiving support from this program are intended to increase and enrich the intellectual capital held collectively amongst the faculty, with the benefit of that capital being re-invested into curriculum and program development that furthers the university's mission.
An opportunity to apply for one-time RSCA publication support funding.
Nominal amounts (up to $1,000) of publication support grants are now available for faculty to aid in publishing their RSCA work. Funds provided may be used for expenses related to preparing the manuscript such as image rights, copy-editing, and/or indexing.
This funding will be on a “first-come first-served” basis. Once the funds set aside for a given fiscal year are expended, this funding stream will be closed. Faculty need to work with their department chair on their funding request. The department chair should then send the request for such funding to ORSP (Anne Wing @ anne.wing@csueasbay.edu).
Please direct any questions to Anne Wing.

Student incentives are paid in the form of a credit of a student's University Student Account. Incentives for people that are not CSUEB students and employees may be paid in the form of a gift card. More information about human subjects research participant incentives can be found on the ORSP Policies Website.
