Research

At the College of the Environment, Forestry, and Natural Sciences, we believe that innovation starts with experimentation.

Our innovative research initiatives have made a difference in areas such as:

  • forest restoration
  • wind mapping and alternative energy development
  • the study of pathogens and genomes

We are committed to using our research to advance sustainability initiatives and to improve the quality of our lives and communities.

Visit our Research Activities pages to see what’s going on.

Office of Sponsored Projects Support

The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) is the university’s centralized office responsible for authorizing extramural funding proposals submitted to sponsors, negotiating with sponsors, and accepting awards. It has the institutional responsibility for assuring the Arizona State Board of Regents (ABOR), the public, and the Federal government that the University has in-place systems and best practices for internal controls and fiscal accountability for sponsored project funds awarded to NAU.

The OSP is a service oriented team that is dedicated to Northern Arizona University’s research and academic missions. They are committed to excellence in providing support of sponsored projects.

Each unit has their own set of OSP contacts. Please review their index of contacts to find out how to get support.
