Our dedicated team of experts provides access to and support for a wide variety of funding opportunities and resources that pave the way to successful research and graduate study outcomes.

The College of Health and Human Development Office of Research and Graduate Education is here to assist faculty and students working together to achieve academic pursuits and research goals at the graduate level.

Graduate Education

Facilitating graduate programs in all departments and schools, we communicate graduate policy issues and support graduate student recruitment and funding.

Proposals, Grants, and Contracts

In addition to providing advice and preparation of applications for external funds to support research, we administer post-award administration activities and stimulate and facilitate research funding initiatives and activities. 

In accordance with Penn State requirements, all grant proposals must receive institutional approval prior to formal submission. Faculty must submit all proposals and awards through the College's Grants and Contracts Office to avoid contractual and budget problems prior to submission.

Funding Opportunities

This list includes the most common funding sources accessed by faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students in our college.
