Welcome

Research is the principal source of technological innovations and economic expansion for our state and country. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) at Texas State University-San Marcos promotes externally funded research, public service, instruction, training, and other projects. OSP is the central source of information for major government agencies, foundations, and corporations which support research and other sponsored programs. OSP staff provides assistance to faculty members, administrators, and students from conceptual development and planning through implementation and administration of funded projects.  OSP assists in developing proposal narratives and budgets; completing standardized application forms; assuring compliance with all applicable federal, state and sponsor regulations; negotiating grant awards and contracts; and administering funded projects.

With outdoor laboratories as close as Aquarena Springs, TX State students have ample opportunities to pursue exciting projects throughout their college careers. Not limited to the sciences, those projects also include many other endeavors such as geographic studies and criminal justice activities. Faculty take advantage of the ability to conduct pioneering research in a unique learning environment.

The Office of the Associate Vice President for Research and Federal Relations is responsible for administering TX State's thriving research enterprise. Texas State University-San Marcos realizes the importance of research in all sectors of society and has produced an impressive and extensive history of instruction and practical research since its establishment in 1899. TX State's expenditures from sponsored programs reached over $34 million in fiscal year 2011.
