The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) supports the advancement of our educational, research and public service missions by assisting with the grant process and overall grant management.
The Children’s OSP administers awards for sponsored programs and projects to provide excellent stewardship to our supporters and Children’s as a whole. The goal of the Children’s OSP is to guide individuals through the grant process while developing the infrastructure that sustains research and programs at Children’s.
We achieve this goal by assisting with every aspect of the grant process. This includes:
- Providing training and support for proposal development
- Issue Notices of Award and set up grant accounts for use
- Developing institutional policies that relate to sponsored activities
In addition, we help gain the approvals needed to submit proposals, implement financial management and accept awards and subgrant funds.
The Children’s OSP processes all other grants with external, restricted funding for projects and partnerships between Children’s and its supporters (e.g., government agencies, foundations, private companies and peer institutions).
