Sponsored Projects at NMT
Welcome to the Office of Sponsored Projects
Under the leadership of the Vice President for Research, Sponsored Projects Development
is NMT’s central Sponsored Projects partner for seeking and securing external funding.
Our purpose is to lift administrative burden, strengthen competitiveness, and guide
compliant, on-time submissions—so investigators can focus on discovery, mentoring,
and impact.
