With offices on both ATSU’s Missouri and Arizona campuses, The Office of Sponsored Programs is staffed by a cadre of highly skilled grant professionals with expertise in proposal development and grants management compliance. This unique, service-oriented team supports faculty, staff, and trainees to elevate ATSU’s influence as an innovator and leading health sciences university, via funded grant proposals.
