The Major Projects Office (MPO) http://www.sfu.ca/ors/major+project.html works in close cooperation with the Faculties, including the Deans, Grants Facilitators and faculty members to promote, encourage and support the development of proposals (and budgets) for submission to major grant competitions at the provincial, national and international levels. These activities include (but are not limited to) assistance with facilitating the establishment of collaborative teams and multidisciplinary teams including collaborators at other institutions and in the private sector. Within SFU, the MPO works with Facilities Management for those major proposals which have important space implications for the University (major renovations and/or construction of new space).
