Quarterly ReportOffice of Research & Sponsored Programs
The information contained in this report is drawn from the Evisions database and provides comparisons of
the amounts of external funding for the first and second quarters of FY 16 and FY 17. This report includes all
proposals that completed internal routing and were marked as fully “approved” and all awards that were
processed and entered into the system as of December 31, 2016. Proposals submitted for internal routing
but not yet approved and awards not fully processed as of that date will be included in future quarterly
reports.
Only units with sponsored program activity during one or both of these periods are represented in this
report. For the purposes of this report, proposals and awards are listed under the administrative unit listed
in Evisions. Many proposals include interdisciplinary collaborations that are not captured in this report.
Following the charts are lists of grants awarded and submitted year‐to‐date in FY 17. If any of the
information in this report does not correspond to your records, please notify [email protected].
