ORGSP Services

The ORGSP staff strives to deliver high-quality, professional, and timely service to NJCU faculty and staff, and welcomes the opportunity to assist them in their efforts to obtain external funding. NJCU faculty and staff should contact the ORGSP early in the grant process to schedule a meeting to discuss the available ORGSP services as well as all necessary processes and procedures.

If you would like to discuss your project ideas, find out what kind of funding might be available, or learn how to use online funding research tools, please contact the Office directly at (201) 200-3364 or email us at ORGSP@njcu.edu.
