Sponsored Projects Administration has partnered with Hanover Research for the 2025 calendar year. This collaboration will focus on enhancing our grant-seeking capabilities, finding and evaluating opportunities, and providing support throughout the pre-proposal and proposal stages, including proposal development.
Hanover Research offers grant consulting services to all faculty members, assisting with individual grants, training grants, and funding proposals. The Office of Sponsored Programs (SPA) provides tools to help faculty secure funding aligned with the university's strategic goals. With over 150 years of combined experience, the Hanover Research team has successfully secured over $500 million from federal and foundation sources.
The Hanover partnership offers many resources to Ball State employees.
