Welcome to the Office of the Associate Vice President: Chief Research Officer. 

The University's Chief Research Officer and Office of Research are responsible for the coordination and facilitation of the University's research policies and programs, as well as promoting research activities across the University's academic units and among faculty and students. We champion research collaboration with both other institutions - such as our neighbors, the New York Botanical Garden and the Wildlife Conversation Society/Bronx Zoo - and Fordham's own international research centers and institutes.

The Office of Research oversees the work of several research units, including the: 

•  Office of Chief Research Officer 
    (Faculty Research Grants, Fellowship and Expense Programs)

•  Office of Sponsored Programs 
    (Development, Review and Submission of External Funding Proposals)

•  Institutional Review Board 
    (Ensuring standards are met for conducting research with human subjects)

In addition to these units, we also assist in the coordination of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the Office of Research Integrity, and the Radiation Safety Program, as well as serve as the primary academic affairs liaison to the University Research Council.

Below is contact information for each of these units.  Please be in touch if we can be of assistance in any way.
