What is the function of the GRI Contracts & Grants Office? How does it differ from the UCSB Office of Research?
The GRI Contracts & Grants Office is a unit within the Gevirtz Research Institute. The GRI Contracts & Grants Office supports the faculty, researchers and students in all Gevirtz Graduate School of Education programs and departments in the following areas: research development, human subjects, proposal preparation, and contracts & grants administration. The UCSB Office of Research (OR) helps members of the university community secure support for their research and creative activities. OR works with all of the academic units on campus to develop the best research programs possible and is charged with ensuring the integrity of UCSB research and providing assurance to governmental and private funding agencies and to the public that the research is conducted in accordance with the highest ethical standards.
