The Grants and Sponsored Programs Office serves many roles at Colby. We support faculty throughout their grant’s lifecycle, with services including funding prospect research, proposal development, and award administration and reporting. Additionally, our office takes pride in our long-standing relationships with an array of funders, a testament to Colby’s dedication to institutional advancement and opportunity.
