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.

TEMPORARY PRE-AWARD CHANGES EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 20, 2023:

• Proposals must be FINAL and approval routing started seven (7) business days before the submission deadline. Only hub-required changes in the proposals allowed. 
• Some proposals in the work queue may be prioritized over others. In some cases, Karen Lombri may not be able to work on a proposal if the workload is too high.  In these cases, the proposals can still be submitted but they may not reviewed by pre-award before going to ORA for final review. 
• Karen Lombri may be limited in the extent she is able to enter proposal information into eTRACS.  Research teams are encouraged to enter as much information as feasible into eTRACS.
