Michigan State University is a diverse community of dedicated students and scholars, athletes and artists, scientists and leaders, representing all 50 states and 130 countries. Whether you are new to MSU or taking on a new research related role, there are many policies and resources you'll need to navigate when pursuing research funding and setting up your first research project.
Throughout the month of September, DER will be sharing great resources for faculty who are new to research at MSU or who are getting started in their MSU research careers. Catch these resources and tools each week in the feature article of the DER Newsletter. Let DER help you navigate avoidable pitfalls that hinder successful funding; rather, enhance your ability to move forward with your specific research. This week, we want to remind you of the people and places who are available to assist you.
MSU’s Office of Research and Innovation (OFRI) oversees and generates resources to help you facilitate your research efforts and research goals at MSU. OFRI fosters creative activity through administering research funding, ensuring research integrity for faculty and students, providing grant support services, fostering collaboration, licensing university inventions, and overseeing regulatory compliance. Useful resources are available for: new faculty; veteran faculty moving to MSU; regulatory compliance; application processes for grants and contracts; award management; and explanations of key policies. Additional tools are available including how to navigate travel in support of MSU research, information for conducting research responsibly, and procedures for hiring and building your team. To access these resources, visit Getting Started in Research at MSU.
In addition to resources made available through OFRI, help is also available through various offices including Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), Division of Engineering Research (DER), and other offices (including post award) who are available to assist in complying with sponsor guidelines when applying for, and managing funded research. There are great resources at your fingertips and support is available to help launch your research. If you have additional questions regarding these resources and services, please send an email to proposals@egr.msu.edu.
