The Office for Research, Innovation and Economic Development provides a supportive infrastructure for scholarly and entrepreneurial pursuits, fostering innovative thinking and industry collaboration in the university and community. Our teams are here to handle the heavy lifting in the process so you can focus on the research.
Our units support campus-wide research and an entrepreneurial enterprise. In helping faculty achieve research excellence, they work on proposals from concept through submission, review regulations to ensure compliance, and offer training and assistance. They encourage entrepreneurs, nurture startups and facilitate innovation in ways that benefit the university as well as the local and global community.
The Research, Innovation and Economic Development leadership team is dedicated to supporting all academic and operational functions at the University at Buffalo. Together, our leaders leverage their expertise to implement institutional priorities, serve the research community and advance UB's research mission.
ORA supports researchers pursuing external research funding, providing comprehensive administrative and technical support to researchers throughout the proposal process.
SPS assists researchers with securing sponsored awards, submitting proposals and post-award management, providing comprehensive support across the full research project lifecycle.
ORC oversees research policies and procedures, collaborating with federal, state and private regulatory agencies to ensure all research activities uphold the highest scientific and ethical standards.
CRO handles administrative oversight for all clinical research activities, facilitates compliant research and ensures adherance to research conduct policies.
BRO supports researchers conducting studies in non-clinical focus areas, including social, behavioral and education research.
LAF oversees the animal care-and-use program, ensuring healthy animal subjects are available to researchers approved for research, testing or educational studies.
TT helps faculty with industry sponsored research projects commercialize their technology, bringing research from lab to market and facilitating business growth.
BEP connects researchers, startups and industry with a depth of expertise, facilities and support. These connections fuel discovery, strengthen businesses and create lasting economic impact.
RIS supports research efforts on both the administrative and program sides, providing integrated information services, technologies and a robust IT infrastructure across the university.
