Welcome to the Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs.

The Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs was established to provide support for educational, scholarly, and creative activities on campus. We provide support for project development, budget development, grants administration, and partnership building internal and external to Missouri Western. The Grants office also reviews all outgoing requests for funding to ensure compliance with institutional and governmental regulations, as well as the expressed guidelines of the prospective funding agent.
