Research Administration
Welcome to the Office of Research Administration website. We hope these pages keep you abreast of policy, practice, and news, and we encourage you to contact us for any matter involving sponsored research.
ORA supports and assists members of the Boston University Medical Campus community in the identification of sponsored funding opportunities, review of proposals, and drafting and negotiation of sponsored agreements. ORA also reviews awards, maintaining the integrity of compliances and administering the research through closeout. ORA is the home base and steward of all research administration, pre- and post-award, from submitting an application through closeout of the award.
ORA partners with the Office of Research Accounting, which manages the financial duties during the life cycle of the award. As part of President Robert A. Brown’s “One-BU” initiative to foster cooperative work across all administrative boundaries, Research Accounting manages research costs and research accounting attributable to awards for both BU campuses.
My office is committed to working effectively with principal investigators, departmental administrators and others to ensure granting agency requirements are met and to serve the research mission of Boston University Medical Campus.
Keep in touch!

Director, Office of Research Administration
