Research, scholarly and creative projects at Auburn begin with a proposal outlining aims, methods and funding needs. The Office of Proposal Services and Faculty Support (PSFS) helps faculty and staff develop competitive proposals that advance their work and Auburn’s mission. PSFS supports researchers by:

  • Identifying targeted funding opportunities.
  • Assisting with large, interdisciplinary proposals and team science activities and events.
  • Educating faculty on responding to a changing funding climate.
  • Training administrators and staff through the COMPASS program to better support research efforts.
