Shared Research Resources are centralized facilities and tools that support advanced, interdisciplinary research by providing access to specialized equipment, data services, collections, and support.

The Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) office, a unit of the Office of Research and Innovation, is responsible for both the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) or pre-award functions, and Contract and Grant Administration (CGA) or post-award. Both units collaborate with MSU's researchers to provide effective and efficient administration throughout the research award process.
