Office of Strategic Research Priorities

Stack of research papersThe UNC School of Social Work’s Office of Strategic Research Priorities (OSRP) coordinates efforts within our School to help faculty develop research proposals, secure research funding, conduct research, manage grants and contracts, and disseminate results.

The OSRP works closely with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and other university leaders to ensure policies and procedures reflect best practices in proposal development, research conduct and award management, taking full advantage of UNC’s broad resources for research.

Resources for UNC School of Social Work researchers are available via the OSRP’s Intranet page.
