Research Support and Development
San Diego State University encourages and supports the advancement of research. The
San Diego State University Research Foundation
coordinates and manages extramural support for the SDSU community.
Internal support opportunities
are available through the University Grants Program (UGP). The
University Grants Program (UGP)
was created to integrate three independent funding mechanisms through which faculty presently derive internal
support for creative and scholarly research. This unique program combines funding opportunities available through the
Faculty Development Program (FDP), Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA) and the Faculty Grant-In-Aid
(GIA) programs.
Students
are also able to apply for support of their research through various programs.
Sharing of the knowledge gained and recognition of outstanding accomplishments also occurs though campus sponsored
lectures and related events.
