The Office of Sponsored Research Services (OSRS) provides communication, education and assistance related to proposal development for the Washington University research community.

OSRS is one of the central administration offices that play a role in research administration activities and is responsible for:
· Reviewing proposals prior to submission to funding agencies
· Establishing and maintaining accounts for funded projects
· Issuing outgoing subawards via the SUBSystem on SPA funds
· Reviewing and processing documents and letters for submission to funding agencies

Proposals must be submitted through OSRS for review and signature by an institutional official prior to submission to the funding agency.
