Faculty Resources
The mission of the Saint Louis University Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is to enable 博彩网址大全's faculty to achieve their research ambitions.
OVPR enables faculty research by fostering a vibrant research environment at 博彩网址大全. Our goal is to lift many of the administrative burdens of managing sponsored research so that faculty can focus on pursuing the research itself. OVPR can assist 博彩网址大全 faculty in the following areas:
- Identifying funding opportunities
- Convening faculty from across disciplines and creating collaborations
- Proposal development and review
- Managing awards and post-award compliance support
OVPR is a unified office with several working groups designed around the ways faculty approach research and scholarship. These working groups are listed below. For more information about the talented people on our team, please visit our About 博彩网址大全 Research page.
Research Policies
University policies and regulatory and ethical policies can impact the research process from proposal development and submission through the management of awards. Please visit PolicyStat to review the current research administration and compliance policies.
Our Teams
Research Development Services
Research Development Services works with faculty in all aspects of research program development, including idea generation, seed funding, project management, and proposal submission. This team is responsible for expanding 博彩网址大全's research capacity by simplifying proposal submissions, working with research support colleagues across campus, assisting faculty in developing strategies and skills for grant-seeking, and building new research initiatives.
For information on Research Development Services, please contact rdg@uupt.net.
Grant Operation Centers
The Grant Operation (GO) Centers bring together key pre- and post-award staff into coordinated teams to provide hands-on support to faculty applying for and managing their grants. This allows for the submission of applications with fewer steps and better communication while making it faster and easier to receive and manage awards.

Research Integrity and Compliance
博彩网址大全’s research compliance committees help maintain effective compliance with University policy and regulatory requirements.
