Updates Related to Federal Orders, Memos, and Agency Guidance

Research is a focus of one of the Michigan Medicine working groups interpreting changes generated by federal funding and regulatory agencies as a result of executive orders and other actions. The Medical School Office of Research is maintaining a SharePoint page (login required) as a repository of communications and documents related to the output of that working group.

    How Grant Services & Analysis Supports Research
    Research Development

    Our Research Development professionals work with faculty to increase extramural funding. We connect faculty with opportunities; work with faculty on grant writing/editing; coordinate large-scale proposals; support faculty career development through programs like R01 Boot Camp; manage internal funding programs; provide bridging support; and assist with limited submissions.

    Pre-Award

    “Pre-Award” constitutes anything that facilitates a proposal’s creation and submission, prior to the award being received. We offer resources for proposal preparation, using eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM), proposal routing, and proposal submission.

    Post-Award

    “Post-Award” comprises everything that happens to administer a research project, following the official award being received. We also maintain the Post-Award Procedures Manual, which represents the consolidation of the Medical School post-award procedures and best practices.

    Research Data Analytics

    Our office provides data for sections of the M-DASH and M-STAT systems. We collect data from the proposals submitted, as well as directly from the National Institutes of Health. We are also able to provide data based on award submissions and receipts.

    Resources & Education

    Our office also writes and maintains policies related to aspects of sponsored research in the Medical School, creates and holds training sessions on various research administration topics, and works on special projects that arise and need our expertise.
