Newly Launched Sponsored Projects Office Collective Website

Dear Campus Research Community,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you – the launch of the new Sponsored Projects Office (SPO) website developed with your feedback in mind. 
As part of the SPO alignment initiative a newly consolidated website brings together content from all sponsored project offices on campus:
  • Office of Contracts and Grants (OCGA)
  • Health Sciences Sponsored Project Pre-Award Office (HSSPPO)
  • Scripps Institution of Oceanography Office of Contracts and Grants (SIO OCGA).
NOTE: In the coming year, you will notice a transition as we phase out the websites associated with OCGA, HSSPPO, and SIO OCGA. 
The new SPO collaborative effort offers a unified platform for comprehensive access to sponsored research information, updates on sponsor policies, and more.  
Your feedback has been instrumental in guiding the redevelopment of our website, and we are grateful for your insights and suggestions. Your input has significantly influenced the evolution of this new site.
Key Features of the Enhanced Website:
  • Centralized Hub: Access funding guidelines, proposal preparation, award management, and more from a single, user-friendly platform.
  • Comprehensive Information: Stay informed about preparing proposals for Sponsored Projects Review and Submission across all VC Areas with complete and up-to-date information.
  • Timely Announcements: Receive updates on the latest policy changes, sponsor deadlines, and access tools and resources to support your research.
  • Interactive Workshops and Training: Explore our curated list of workshops, training sessions, and office hours, connecting research administrators with subject matter experts to assist with Kuali Research and provide education on various sponsored project topics.
How to Access the Enhanced Sponsored Research Administration Website:
Visit the new Sponsored Projects Office website, spo.ucsd.edu, to explore the new features and resources. Remember to bookmark the site for quick and easy access.
Your ongoing dedication to advancing research on our campus propels us forward, and we sincerely appreciate your partnership. Should you have any questions or comments, please reach out to researchadmin@ucsd.edu.
We are confident that this upgraded platform will serve as a valuable resource for you.
