Institutional Research & Sponsored Projects

Overview

The Office of Institutional Research and Sponsored Projects (OIRSP), housed within the Teaching Research Institute in Todd Hall, supports Western Oregon University’s efforts to provide timely and accurate institutional data and information, as well as support for the advancement of academic initiatives, faculty research, institutional collaborations and community partnerships by assisting faculty, staff and administrators in their endeavors to obtain extramural funding.

 

As a repository of information, the primary role of institutional research is to collect, summarize, analyze and report institutional data on students and faculty, educational programs, and administrative and support services. These activities provide accurate and timely information to support the planning and decision-making activities of the President, Vice Presidents, Provost and Deans of WOU. Institutional Research also responds to a variety of private, state and federal reporting demands by gathering and reporting official information to the University community, and when appropriate to external agencies and the Oregon University System.

 

The primary role of Sponsored Projects is to provide WOU administrators, faculty and staff with technical assistance and professional development to expand current institutional and faculty research, contract and grant activities. This includes identifying new funding sources; conducting grant and foundation searches; assisting faculty, staff and administrators in conceptualizing, developing and submitting proposals to a variety of funders; budget planning and management; providing technical assistance and/or direct assistance in research and evaluation design; and managing the multitude of local, state and federal legal and fiscal requirements.

 

OIRSP also facilitates and provides fiscal support for WOU’s Institutional Review Board activities.
