With our partners at Sponsored Projects and Research Compliance (SPARC) and the Law School’s External Relations, we work with the faculty, staff and students of all three schools at Lewis & Clark to develop, submit and manage grant proposals and funding. CFR primarily focuses on general projects for CAS, as well as all grant opportunities for GSEC. Faculty from all three schools looking for research funding, especially federal opportunities including NIH and NSF, can work with our colleagues at the Sponsored Projects and Research Compliance Office.
