Office of Sponsored Programs

Welcome to The Office of Sponsored Programs


Welcome to the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). We are dedicated to providing support to departments, centers, institutes, and researchers at Teachers College (TC) in the preparation and management of awards. We work closely with faculty and researchers to provide assistance through each stage of the award life cycle, including proposal preparation, submission and tracking, and post-award management.  Each department and center is supported by one of our talented Sponsored Program Administrators.

New Budget Templates (1/2025)

Research-Based Conflict of Interest

TC recently updated its Conflict of Interest policy and procedures to comply with relevant federal requirements. This policy went into effect on October 1, 2024. Per the new policy, everyone named as Senior or Key Personnel on a proposal must complete the Research-Based Disclosures (RBD) before submitting the proposal or application for funding. 
 TCs website: Conflict of Interest
The process for providing disclosures is completed through Cayuse. You will receive an email with a link to access the system and complete your RBD for your proposal. 
 
Here is a short video on completing your Research Conflict of Interest Disclosures. 
 
Please complete your RBD by 9 a.m. the day before your internal deadline (5 business days before the external deadline). Let your SPA know if you have any questions or issues accessing the system or completing the RBD steps.
