Office of Sponsored Projects & Research Enhancement New Location
As you may be aware, the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) and Research Enhancement (REU) is moving to a centralized location at the Virginia Science & Technology Campus (VSTC). Beginning August 27, 2018, all OSP and REU staff currently located at Rice Hall, 2033 K Street, Ross Hall and 950 New Hampshire Avenue will be physically located at VSTC’s Enterprise Hall (44983 Knoll Drive, Suite 260, Ashburn, VA 20147). Staff contact information (phone numbers and email addresses) will remain unchanged. The office relocation is not expected to adversely impact the university research community, specifically:
- staff will be available during normal business hours as usual;
- staff contact information (phone numbers/exchanges) will remain the same;
- all OSP staff will establish regular meetings at Foggy Bottom with school and department representatives;
- the OSP director will work out of OVPR’s Foggy Bottom office 2-3 days each week; and
- OSP and Research Enhancement staff will continue to hold on-campus meetings, seminars and training events as they do at present.
The Division of Operations will conduct the actual move after close of business on August 23rd – August 25th and staff will begin work in the new location on Monday, August 27. I encourage faculty to submit any proposals due on August 23–28, 2018 by August 22, 2018, if possible and to let our office know of any proposals that are not currently in queue.
I appreciate your patience during this time and look forward to continuing our mission to provide operational excellence in support of GW’s research. Please contact me directly (shandra@gwu.edu) with any questions or concerns.
Shandra S. White, Director, Office of Sponsored Projects & Research Enhancement
