Funding Opportunities

  • Searching For Funding

  • WP's Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is ready to help you obtain external funding that could move you toward a WPUNJ-related personal or professional goal, get a new course or program started, accelerate your research, expand or initiate a new community service or outreach activity. We can provide assistance during all steps leading from your initial idea to beginning work on your funded project.

    The first - and possibly the hardest - steps anyone interested in obtaining external support must take are getting to know which agencies are interested in what you are interested in and learning what they are willing to fund.

    When searching for funding, it is important to to assess where you are in the process and ask questions such as:

    • Do you have a project in mind?
    • Do you know what agencies would possibly fund your project?
    • Are you ready to apply for funding?


    In addition, we are providing the link to WP's Internal Support Programs for sponsored teaching and research support information on ART, research and travel incentive, and graduate/undergraduate research programs.
