In accordance with Board of Regents Policy, Clayton State University encourages the faculty and staff to apply for sponsored grants that enhance the mission of the institution. This section will discuss the application for grant approval, and also the
administration of the grant.
The Office of Grant and Contract Programs, as part of the Division of the Provost,

financial service and support to faculty and staff in the post-award phase of grants and contracts. Upon establishment of the grant, the budgeting and accounting processes are controlled and provided by the Office of Budget and Finance reporting to the Vice President of Business & Operations.
