ORA REPORT

In the pages of the UMass Dartmouth Research Annual Report for fiscal year 2022, you’ll find statistics, data, and stories about the amazing research conducted here that has real-world impact. Not detailed is the work done by the Office of Research and Innovation to facilitate faculty research. The entire team in the Office of Research and Innovation continues to serve the growing portfolio of sponsored research at UMass Dartmouth.

Research administration is a critical component of any research institution. It is responsible for the efficient and effective management of research funds, compliance with sponsor and institutional policies, and other research-related resources and processes. The team works seamlessly to submit proposals, set up awards, invoice, certify effort and report in a timely, efficient manner.

Without the support of the staff of the Offices of Research Administration, Research Support, Research Development, Environmental Health and Safety, Institutional Ethics and Compliance, and Technology Commercialization and Ventures, none of the successes in this report would have been possible. I am grateful for their efforts, and I look forward to our continued collaboration with the research faculty here at UMassD.
