The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) assists faculty in the review, submission, negotiation, and acceptance of extramural grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements for research, training, and other sponsored programs. OSR is part of a larger organization, Office of Research Administration, headed by Richard P. Seligman, Associate Vice President for Research Administration.
OSR works closely with the other Research Administration units, Project Accounting, Export Compliance and Financial Compliance and Training. In carrying out its mission, OSR also relies on other administrative units, namely the Office of Research Compliance, the Office of the General Counsel, and the Office of Technology Transfer.

OSR is organized into teams, and each academic division within Caltech has been assigned to a particular team. This structure is intended to provide more continuity of service to the divisions, so that one group of individuals will be responsible for a particular division's transactions, from proposal submission to award closeout. Each team is comprised of at least one Contract and Grant Officer and one Contract and Grant Analyst. Primary contact points for the academic divisions are as follows:
