Established during FY 1994-95, the OGSP has overseen tremendous growth since its inception, with external grant awards rising from $738,249 in the first year to the current, successful level. As Director of OGSP for the past ten years, I am pleased to report on the current success of our active faculty and staff in seeking and obtaining external funding, especially during trying economic times at the University. Summary: There were several major grant awards funded through competitively peer-reviewed processes. Highlights from the FY2011-12 year are presented below. The total of funded grant awards was $6,532,187. In grant submissions, the total requested was $26,859,027. Although the total amount of the external awards received in FY12 was less than the previous year, an analysis of the activities of the past 10 years indicates several significant trends. The positive trends are: (i) continued growth in external grants, (ii) growth in requested funds in submitted proposals and (iii) in support of our internal RA and URC grant programs. In light of the role of YSU as an emerging research institution, the strategic initiative is to increase our University investments in the academic and research infrastructure. Hence, YSU will be better able to provide the technical and intellectual expertise needed to support economic development and sponsored grant activities.
