Sponsored Research Services (SRS) supports the University of Ottawa’s research community by facilitating administration of externally and internally funded research projects.

We provide expert guidance throughout the full lifecycle of sponsored research — from proposal submission and institutional signatures to award and post-award management.  

We also play a critical role in contract and agreement management including negotiating contracts and agreements with government, not-for profits sector and academic institutions.  

Our team works closely with researchers, faculties research offices, financial services, IT and external partners to ensure uOttawa research is competitive, compliant and well supported.
