The Office of the Vice Provost is responsible for pre-award and non-fiscal post-award administration of grants and contracts (through the Office of Research Administration), protection, management, and licensing of the University's intellectual property (through the Office for Technology Licensing and Industry Collaboration), oversight of the use of human subjects and laboratory animals in research, implementation of the University's policies on conflict of interest in research and scientific misconduct, and for working with other administrative offices to create an environment at the University that encourages and facilitates research.
The responsibilities of the Office of Research Administration include the coordination of proposal submission and the acceptance of awards for grants and contracts at Tufts University. All faculty initiated requests for support, regardless of funding source, must be processed by the Office of Research Administration. This is to ensure that if the grant is awarded, the University is prepared to receive and administer the funds.
