How We Add Value

How Does Affiliation with OIBR Benefit Departments & Colleges?

Affiliation with OIBR benefits departments and colleges by (1) offering a formal mentoring program for faculty members, (2) organizing colloquia open to all University Faculty, (3) sponsoring faculty for internal and external awards, and (4) reducing departmental administrative burden through our comprehensive pre-award and post-award services. OIBR can also help departments and colleges with faculty recruitment and assist in the socialization of new faculty by offering a supportive intellectual environment for the pursuit of research. For grants submitted through the institute, 100% of the academic credit remains at the investigator’s home department. Indirect cost return (F&A) is split according to home unit policies.  OIBR does not retain any indirect cost return from grants administered through the Institute.

How Does Affiliation with OIBR Benefit Faculty?

The multi-disciplinary collaboration and intellectual environment of OIBR has proven to be a rewarding professional experience for our distinguished scholars and provides a platform for networking and research opportunities. Faculty who participate in our mentoring program attend grant writing workshops, receive mentoring and feedback from the Faculty Development Director, OIBR Director, and OIBR Associate Director who all have a track record of successful grant funding, and can apply for funds to support pilot research to increase the likelihood of successful grant funding. Faculty who are eligible to submit grants through OIBR will also benefit from our specialized pre-award and post-award staff.
