Rowan University Office of Sponsored Programs

The mission of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is to provide Rowan University faculty with relevant information and guidance for the submission of quality proposals to federal, state, and industrial sponsors, and to provide effective stewardship of awarded funds. Please see the links below and to the left for further information on the organization, staffing functions, and important notices.

NSF PUI Eligibility Changes

Effective June 1, 2021, Rowan University is no longer considered a National Science Foundation (NSF) Predominantly Undergraduate Institution (PUI) with more than 20 Ph.D. graduates in NSF-supported fields over the last two years.  Accordingly Rowan is no longer eligible to apply for RUI propoals and is now required to provide a 30% cost share of total project costs on any Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) proposals.

Changes to NSF Biosketch and Current/Pending Templates

Effective October 5, 2020, the National Science Foundation (NSF) will begin enforcing the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 20-1) requirement to use NSF-approved formats for the preparation of the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support proposal documents. The NSF-approved formats are SciENcv: Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae and an NSF fillable PDF.

Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support Websites

  • The NSF Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support websites include links to the NSF-fillable PDF formats, updated FAQs, and instructions.
  • For the fillable PDF formats, NSF recommends users download and save the blank PDF document prior to adding content. Populating content directly into a web browser (e.g., Chrome or Safari) may result in formatting inconsistencies. The completed and saved PDF can then be uploaded via FastLane, Research.gov, or Grants.gov.
  • Beginning on October 5, 2020, links to the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support websites will also be located in FastLane (on the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support Personnel pages), in Research.gov (on the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support Upload pages), and in Grants.gov (on the NSF Senior Key Person Profile form version 2.0).
  • PIs and co-PIs must include an NSF-approved format for Current and Pending Support when notifying NSF that active other support has changed since the award was made, or since the most recent annual report. Further details about the RPPR can be found on the Research.gov About Project Reports website.
