Gain Support for External Research Funding

Sponsored Programs Administration in the Office of Research provides extensive support to principal investigators seeking external funding for research and creative scholarship at Kennesaw State University. All proposals for external funding (grants, subawards, contracts, consulting agreements) must be approved by the PI and their chair and dean in Cayuse, KSU's electronic grants management system, PRIOR to proposal submission. Please note that the Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation (KSURSF) is the legal applicant for proposals. The staff works closely with researchers at both the pre- and post-award stages to ensure a seamless operation.

Potential Government Shutdown

Funding appropriations for most federal agencies are anticipated to expire at midnight on December 20, 2024, unless a budget deal is entered into or a continuing resolution is established to extend the deadline. If Congress does not pass new spending legislation before that, effective October 1st a government shutdown will occur, with agencies suspending most operations. In that case, federally funded project administration, distributions, and funding will be impacted.
