This month, Longwood created a new Office of Sponsored Programs to help faculty find funding opportunities to support their research and scholarly projects.
Although faculty and staff members have applied for and received grants for years, establishing the office and hiring staff represents a more concentrated effort. In recent years, many universities, facing diminished public funding, have launched such offices to assist in the grant-writing process.
“This was a need that President [Patrick] Finnegan identified at the outset of his tenure,” said Dr. Ken Perkins, vice president for academic affairs. “As we move forward with the Academic Strategic Plan, there will be opportunities for the office to provide support.”
