The Office of Research Development (ORD) advises the College of Medicine (COM) in determining research investment. The Office is developing plans for assignment of space as well as a strategic plan for the COM and input towards development of the University master strategic plan.
ORD also provides assistance to faculty and sponsors in planning and coordinating large research initiatives involving interdisciplinary expertise.
ORD is working with the Office of Research Administration and Compliance (RAC) in the COM and the Division of Sponsored Research (DSR) at the university level on upper campus to develop processes related to grant submission that are seamless and will avoid duplication of effort for faculty.
ORD has developed a training program for newly hired faculty on identifying grant sources and grant writing. This program is available to all interested persons (space permitting) and covers the general aspects of grant applications, including sponsors, grantsmanship, and review processes.
The Office can assist faculty members in locating sources of funding and interpreting sponsor instructions, and will provide one-on-one assistance for researchers who are unfamiliar with the grant identification/preparation processes
