About

The BioMed Research Administration Office includes three teams: BioMed Shared Services, Pre-Award, and Post-Award.

The BMRA website has been created to serve as a valuable resource for the Division of Biology and Medicine faculty, students, and staff.

The BioMed Research Administration Office includes three teams: BioMed Shared Services, Pre-Award, and Post-Award. The Shared Services team provides support to investigators and staff across the Division, similarly to grants personnel within departments. The Pre-Award and Post-Award teams provide additional review to proposals, communication with external sponsors, and oversight of award execution and compliance; our Pre-Award has institutional signing authority. The Pre- and Post-Award teams closely partner with our colleagues in the Office of the Vice President for Research, and seek to ease the process of obtaining and spending external funding on research.
