Office Mission

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is committed to providing exceptional service to and support of Xavier University of Louisiana’s faculty and staff. Our mission is to grow, support and safeguard Xavier’s research enterprise, allowing investigators to be successful in their sponsored program initiatives. Through communication that is frequent, clear, consistent and accurate, we strive to be an effective resource to all of our internal and external constituencies.

The ORSP provides services in four general categories: administration of pre- and post-award activities, the oversight and support of University compliance activities, facilitation of technology transfer, and information collection and dissemination.
