Research Administration
The Research Administration pre- and post-award team within the department supports each of our divisions by partnering with faculty, University of Rochester administration, sponsors, and internal and external collaborators. We partner with central administration offices such as the Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA) and Office of Research Accounting and Costing Standards (ORACS) to ensure pre- and post-award processes run smoothly.
Prior to contacting ORPA, DOM faculty and staff should first reach out to their division research administrator below, as appropriate.
