Office of Sponsored Programs

From grant proposal to post-award accountability, the Office of Sponsored Programs helps CMC staff help the community

The Office of Sponsored Programs at Colorado Mountain College coordinates awards to the College that are financed through external funds to support various instructional, research and public service activities. The Office of Sponsored Programs serves CMC faculty, staff, administration, and organizations that sponsor CMC programs.

The Office of Sponsored Programs works closely with campus and central services staff to coordinate requests for funding from Federal, State and local government sources as well as non-governmental sources.

The Office of Sponsored Programs is responsible for coordination of all pre-award activities, including: compliance with granting agency and college policies; serving as primary liaison and advisor to grant-writing teams; and providing grant opportunity information to faculty and administrators. The Office of Sponsored Programs, in coordination with the Office of Budget and Finance, is also responsible for performing post-award grant management duties, including compliance, reporting and financial oversight.

What is a "sponsored" program?

A college program is "sponsored" if it solicits and receives a restricted award (i.e. the funds can only be used for that program) from a source outside the normal operating budget (i.e. financed through external funds) in order to support various instructional, research and public service activities.
