     Cal Poly Admin & Finance

Cal Poly Faculty are often awarded external financial support in the form of grants, contracts and cooperative agreements from agencies in the public and private sectors. The CPC, via the Sponsored Programs Department, assists the University by entering into these agreements with project sponsors on the University's behalf and by providing post award fiscal and administrative support for the term of the agreement.

The mission of the Sponsored Programs Office is to help the Cal Poly community achieve its educational mission by providing efficient and effective post award management support for sponsored projects. External funding carries with it a host of legislative guidelines and departmental, sponsor, and campus regulations that require concentrated monitoring.

The Sponsored Programs Office serves the University in the following ways:

1. Administration of grants and contracts for university research, educational, and other sponsored projects.
2. Administration of Institutes and Centers.
