Survey Results

The purpose of this survey was to collect faculty feedback regarding the Research Environment at Cleveland State University, with a focus on the services provided by the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (OSPR).The survey has now been administered for the last two years (Spring 2010 and Spring 2011). In each survey, respondents were asked to consider the following services they may have utilized during the last 24 month period:

1. Pre-Award services: funding opportunity searches and proposal narrative review
2. Proposal submission: budget and overall proposal review and approval
3. Award administration: account set-up (including cost-share), re-budget processing, and interaction with sponsors

Depending upon the nature of the questions, respondents were asked to consider their most recent interaction with OSPR, their overall experience from the last 24 months or the broader Research Environment.
