Our Mission
To serve as an essential resource to ASU faculty and staff by assisting to secure and successfully manage external funding for University research and sponsored activities.
To support ASU’s research enterprise, Research Operations delivers services through a distributed service model encompassing:
- Research Advancement (RA), comprised of unit–based research advancement teams across the university and a centralized Research Advancement Services (RAS) team focused on emerging research units and strategic university initiatives
- The Office for Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (ORSPA), ASU's central unit for research administration. ORSPA consists of the Proposal and Negotiation Team, the Office of Industry and Research Collaborations, and the Award Management Team
- Fiscal Oversight, which provides support and analysis for costing and financial audits
- The Office of Research Integrity and Assurance, established as a resource for investigators and the university as a whole to achieve and maintain ethical principles and compliance with federal, state, and university regulations governing research. The office acts as a liaison between the Associate Vice President for the Knowledge Enterprise Development and the various committees required to monitor and support research activities.
Research Operations is organized into teams that align with the business processes governing ASU’s research administration process. See Processes and Work Instructions for detailed descriptions of each business process.
