SDSU Research Foundation serves the university and its researchers in many ways, providing grant lifecycle services including proposal budgeting and submission, award administration, human resources, payroll and purchasing services, and providing facilities to house research projects. Pre-award departments include Research Advancement and Sponsored Research Development.

The Research Advancement division assists with proposal development services, funding opportunities, and limited submission opportunities.

The Sponsored Research Development department partners with faculty to help interpret guidelines and sponsor submission requirements, contact potential sponsors, prepare budgets, complete application forms, obtain university approvals, prepare applications for submission, facilitate compliance items, and transition to post-award departments when awards are received.
