BSOM Research Administration Hub

The Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) Research Administration Hub is responsible for the development and review of grant pre-award proposal budgets, support with eTRACS submissions, and the monitoring of post-award activities and financial transactions. It also serves as a resource for helping to assure that grant spending and requests for funding are in accordance with federal, state, and private sponsor rules and regulations.

Please note: Cheryl is temporarily stepping in to support Ray in the BSOM Research Administration Hub until a new hub staff member can be hired.

• ECU’s  10-5-2 proposal timeline guidance is being temporarily changed to 14-7-2.
• PIs should notify their hub pre-award liaison of their intent to submit no later than 14 business days before the submission deadline and provide a draft budget, justification, and scope of work to facilitate coordination of eTRACS data entry.
• Waivers for reduced F&A should be routed at least 14 business days before the submission deadline.
• Proposals must be final in eTRACS and approval routing started 7 business days before the submission deadline. Only hub and ORA mandated changes in the proposals will be allowed.
• Some proposals in the work queue may be prioritized over others if the workload is too high around major deadlines. In these cases, the proposals will still be submitted if they meet the temporary timeline, but they may not be fully reviewed by pre-award before going to ORA for final review.
• The research teams may need to participate in interactions with subaward recipients on awards in which ECU is the prime awardee.

Note: If you are seeking support for industry-funded clinical trials, please reach out to the Office of Clinical Research Startup Team.
