​​​Welcome! As part of Academic Affairs, ​the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) offers services to UWSP faculty and staff regarding grants, contracts, and research endeavors. We work closely with agency stakeholders and UW personnel to review and submit proposals to external sponsors and accept funding on behalf of the University for research, instruction, and other sponsored activities. We support the grant-seeking and research communities by providing guidance on grants and research compliance to enhance investigators' abilities to receive and manage world-class granting and research opportunities.

Stay tuned for RAMP!
Starting July 7, 2025, all UW comprehensives will be moving to new software systems. RAMP will replace WISPER and Workday will replace WISER.

ORSP will be updating our website throughout July and August ​​with helpful materials to guide you through the new grant-approval process in RAMP.​​

Please reach out to orsp@uwsp.edu with questions in the meantime. Thank you!
