The Office of Research and Grants (ORG) promotes, supports, and celebrates research and grant opportunities, which contributes to APU’s identity as an institution of high research activity. While a main focus of ORG is assisting faculty in identifying, acquiring, and managing external grant resources, ORG also awards student travel grants to undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, ORG advances ethical practices in research through its oversight of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), which review and approve all regulated research at Azusa Pacific University involving human (IRB) and animal (IACUC) subjects.

ORG supports graduate student dissertation and thesis publication through the office of Graduate Student Publications (GSP) housed in ORG. The GSP office works with graduate programs to ensure appropriate style and formatting of all APU dissertations and theses, and assists students in preparing these documents for publication on the ProQuest portal as required for degree completion.
