Welcome to the Office of Research Services

The Office of Research Services provides support for faculty in their pursuit and management of sponsored research opportunities.

Applications for externally sponsored research grants and contracts should be routed through GU-PASS for review, approval, and submission by ORS staff. The ORS is the only Main Campus organization with the authority to make binding commitments on behalf of the university with regard to sponsored research agreements. See the Research Life Cycle site for further information.

For all general inquiries, please contact ORS at researchadmin@georgetown.edu, or reach out to individual ORS staff as required.

In addition, the Campus Research Administration Forum (CRAF) is a quarterly forum for the grant management community on Main Campus and the Law Center to share best practices and to learn about new policies and regulations. All grant-related administrative staff are welcome to join.

The Campus Research Administration Newsletter (CRAN) is a monthly newsletter for the grant management community that highlights the services and information available to staff who support external research.

Please browse the different ORS teams below and reach out to any team members with research queries.
