As our name suggests, GRO is committed to growing both graduate and online education, in addition to research through grant awards at UNI. GRO offers support for faculty and staff in the development of program offerings, as well as support services for our graduate and online learners. In addition, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs provides preaward, postaward and research compliance services for UNI's faculty and staff who engage in seeking and managing externally funded projects.
