Mission
The mission of Sponsored Programs Administration is to pave the way to discovery by providing faculty and staff with resources to navigate proposal development, secure funding, and ensure appropriate use of those funds. Our endeavors directly support the mission of UT Southwestern “to promote health and a healthy society that enables individuals to achieve their full potential.”
Vision
We aim to be acknowledged both within UTSW and worldwide as the premier source of reliable, creative, and valuable guidance in conducting sponsored research and other funded activities.
Values
- Integrity
- Honesty
- Collaboration
- Distinction
Motivation
We are driven by the groundbreaking research outcomes we facilitate, our significant contribution to maintaining UTSW’s reputation for excellence, and the knowledge that our efforts play a crucial role in shaping a better world and a more promising future.
Principles
- With every transaction, we cater to three key stakeholders. Our success depends on how effectively we: (a) champion our research community in their quest for academic excellence, (b) shield our university from financial and reputational risks, and (c) assist our sponsors in fulfilling their scientific and programmatic objectives.
- We consistently act with honesty and integrity. Upholding this principle is the right course of action. It builds public trust in funding research, enables us to responsibly minimize administrative burdens and manage risks, and fosters effective research administration throughout UTSW.
- We treat everyone with compassion, honor, and regard, and we expect the same in return. We exemplify this principle through our interactions with colleagues and clients across the UTSW research community.
