Universities play a special role in society. While our first obligation
is of course to teaching, we are also leaders in research and in service
to our communities.
The Office for
Research and Sponsored Programs exists to assist faculty and others
in pursuit of special efforts that can enrich the University's education,
research and service endeavors. Our primary responsibility is to assist
in securing financial support, usually in the form of peer-reviewed grants
or contracts, thereby enabling the University to undertake new projects
or expand or improve upon ongoing activities. Additionally, our Office
provides a wide range of support services from assistance in the protection
of intellectual properties to compliance with governmental regulations
and award conditions, all to assure - in a joint effort with faculty -
that the name Hofstra University stands for reliability and excellence
in research and all other professional and scholarly pursuits.
