Description of the Organization
California State University San Marcos is one of 23 CSU campuses. Founded in 1989, the campus currently has more than 200 faculty serving nearly 8,000 students. The 304-acre campus is located in the foothills of northern San Diego County. The university offers rigorous undergraduate and graduate programs distinguished by exemplary teaching, innovative curricula, and the application of new technologies. CSUSM focuses on the student as an active participant in the learning process. Students work closely with a faculty of active scholars and artists whose commitment to sustained excellence in teaching, research, and community partnership enhances student learning. CSUSM provides a range of services that responds to the needs of a student body with diverse backgrounds, expanding student access to an excellent and affordable education. As a public university, CSUSM grounds its mission in the public trust, alignment with regional needs, and sustained enrichment of the intellectual, civic, economic, and cultural life of our region and state.
The University Office of Research and Sponsored Projects supports the campus's values of intellectual engagement, integrity, and innovation by promoting faculty research, scholarly, and creative activities. The office develops and administers policies and procedures designed to support the research goals of the campus. In the area of sponsored projects, the office is responsible for helping faculty and staff seek external support for their scholarly activities. Working closely with the CSUSM Foundation, the Associate Vice President for Research ensures that all agency guidelines and university policies are followed in the process of submitting proposals for grants and contracts.
The California State University San Marcos Foundation is an official auxiliary of the CSU. It is the authorized fiscal agent for grants and contracts and is therefore authorized to submit proposals on behalf of the university. The Foundation provides support, service, and opportunity to advance the goals of the university. Through its grant and contract services, business and financial services, receipt and administration of gifts and donations, and other entrepreneurial operations, the Foundation generates and manages additional resources and assets in support of the university's existing and emerging programs.
The Foundation Office of Grants and Contracts provides professional and timely assistance to faculty and staff in their pursuit of externally funded research and sponsored programs. It serves as the administrative and financial liaison between faculty/staff and sponsors, enhancing the capability of Cal State San Marcos to generate and administer external awards for instructional, research, public service, and scholarly activities.
