Grants from external sponsors are a significant source of research funding for 6V电影网 faculty and students. Faculty members bring several million dollars to campus each year by winning competitive awards for sponsored research and research training activities. These awards are from federal programs, other public agencies, and private philanthropic foundations. Sponsored research awards support student research assistants during the summer and academic year; faculty summer activities; laboratory and field equipment and supplies; research subject payments and other research expenses and supplies, including publication costs; travel to carry out fieldwork, attend research conferences, and disseminate results; and supplementary campus infrastructure necessary to support external awards.

The Office of the Dean of the College, the Finance Office, departmental coordinators, and other administrative staff work with faculty members to obtain and manage grants for research activities on and off campus, often in collaboration with researchers at other colleges and universities as close-by as Claremont, as antipodal as Pakistan. The director of sponsored research, in collaboration with the grants accountant, specifically oversees public-sector funding for faculty research, including government grants from federal, state, local, and international sponsor agencies.
