The Office of Research Administration believes in providing complete, timely and accurate service in the areas of pre award and post award research administration in order to minimize the administrative burden for the principal investigators and to encourage growth in research funding to our Department.

Rigorous compliance with the rules and regulations applicable to intramural and extramural funding as outlined by the various federal and private funding agencies and institutions and maintaining the integrity of the financial data are fundamental to our mission.

In order to accomplish the above objectives, we begin with the basic premise that our most important asset is the human asset and that every individual is important and deserves to be treated with respect. To accomplish this we believe in empowering our employees and providing them with the opportunity to enhance their skills, knowledge and abilities to further their career development. We believe in maintaining a workforce that is technically proficient and in fostering a positive work environment that encourages group interaction.
