The BMCC Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is the office authorized to submit grants, accept awards, and oversee the management of sponsored programs on behalf of the College.
OSP serves as the College’s primary liaison to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), the College’s fiscal agent, and as BMCC’s Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR), designated to provide institutional approval and signatures.
Reporting to the Provost, OSP offers the College community resources and support for grant proposal development and project management. OSP facilitates the submission of proposals and the administration of funded projects to advance the college’s strategic priorities and its mission to provide instruction, research, and public service.
