"OIBR has been one of my best experiences at the UGA. From the mentoring fellowship, grant-writing workshops, to grant management, the institute runs like a well-oiled machine. I am specifically grateful to Dr. Steve Kogan, who provided wonderful mentoring for me.  hope OIBR will continue in this same style into the future."

"As the director of OIBR’s SEER (Scientist Engaged in Education Research) Center, I especially appreciate the grant support and event support I receive from the OIBR staff. They go above and beyond the level of service provided by most units at UGA."

"Since moving to UGA, the research infrastructure at OIBR has made the biggest difference in my career in terms of applying for, obtaining, and completing large scale extramural grant funding. The director, associate director,  and staff work tirelessly to support research endeavors of the institute and promote behavioral science at UGA. I have worked at multiple institutions in my career and never seen a research institute as effective and easy to work with as OIBR. The staff’s competence and skill is prodigious, and they have become one of the most vital parts of our research team. I could not imagine doing grant funded research now without OIBR and its amazingly talented team. I could not be more appreciative of all they do for me and my lab."

“OIBR is an arena of support for social and behavioral scientists. It is a place that has a “can do attitude” where the OIBR team bends over backwards to support professional development, preparation of grant proposals, and post grant award budget administration- and they do all this with a smile and good cheer.”

"The staff at OIBR is amazing. They are incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and timely. Their excellent team makes everything about pre- and post-award funding easier to navigate."
