Sponsored Programs

Department Overview

Sponsored Programs connects Swarthmore College and its faculty with funding opportunities from government agencies, foundations and other philanthropic institutions that have a shared interest in the research, scholarly, and creative activity of individual faculty members.

Our office reports directly to the Provost and Dean of the Faculty and works closely with departments across campus to support grants and faculty research. Sponsored Programs contributes to the College's mission to provide learners of diverse backgrounds a transformative liberal arts education by supporting the innovative research and creative production of our faculty.
