Sponsored Agreements made to the College are typically
awarded in response to a proposal submitted some time in advance
of the award based on terms, conditions, and formats required by
the Sponsor. The process of searching for funding sources, finding
potential awards, working with Principal Investigators (P.I.'s) to
prepare and submit a proposal for funding, and providing all of the
necessary documentation, forms, disclosures, etc. required before
