Sponsored Research

The University of Pennsylvania deems any project which commits a specific line of scholarly or scientific inquiry, typically documented by a statement of work and where the sponsor identifies a period of performance as a term and condition.

We liaise with Penn Law Faculty and the Office of Research Services to prepare, submit and administer applications for sponsored research.

University Sponsored Research Policy

You may find the applicable University Policy located - here.

Please contact the Business Affairs Office to confer re. operational approach before proceeding with proposal submissions - at our preferred location - businesshelp@law.upenn.edu.  Please secure and remit the appropriate documentation to Business Affairs in order to prepare and submit all applications.
