The Office of Research Administration assists faculty on the uptown campus with locating funding information, initiating and processing proposals, and administering awarded sponsored projects in accordance with the practices and policies of both Tulane and the sponsoring agencies. It also acts as a liaison between investigators and other campus offices on grant or contract-related matters. The staff is always available to answer questions related to sponsored research and to assist with budget preparation.

By request, the staff can perform customized searches for funding for individual faculty members and can assist in locating necessary instructions and applications. For more information, visit the Office of Research Administration Web site.

The Office of Government Affairs & Institutional Program Development represents the university's official point of contact for federal, state, and local legislative activities that affect the University, its faculty and its students.
