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.

In an effort to remain efficient, customer-focused and maintain portfolio balance, the team’s assigned portfolios of departments have recently been realigned. Please see below for who will serve as the primary pre-award contact for faculty and staff effective December 1, 2025. As a result of this portfolio realignment, the interim 14-7-2 BSOM proposal routing timeline will also be realigning with ORA’s 10-5-2 proposal submission timeline.

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