More About OSR

The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) provides pre-award and post-award administrative services for sponsored projects. We collaborate with partner groups in other central and school offices to coordinate research administration services, systems, and processes. We review and endorse sponsored projects proposals, negotiate and accept awards, and issue subawards on behalf of Stanford. In addition, we establish accounts in the financial system and fulfill sponsor's financial reporting requirements.

This series of seminars teaches the "nuts and bolts" of research administration and provides on-the-ground details, practical how-to’s, and tricks of the trade to University and Medical School staff involved in sponsored research.
