Sponsored Programs Foundation (SPF) is an auxiliary organization to California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt (Cal Poly Humboldt). Our primary mission is to provide the university community with professional and accessible grant and contract services. We administer virtually all externally-funded grants/contracts and submit proposals to external funding agencies on behalf of Cal Poly Humboldt. Our staff works to facilitate efforts that support our students through involvement in research that enhances the likelihood that our students will graduate and strive for a higher degree, will achieve at the highest levels, and will remember Cal Poly Humboldt as their starting point.
