What is the relationship between the Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations (OCFR), the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR), and Research Cost and Accounting (RCA)?
All three offices exist to support to Rice University’s sponsored and research projects. Because most foundation grants are now assigned to R funds, OCFR works closely with OSR and RCA to receive and manage grants from foundations. The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) supports the development and submission of proposals to all external sponsors, including federal, state, and local agencies, foundations, and corporations. OCFR and OSR work closely together to submit proposals to and receive grants from foundations. Research Cost and Accounting (RCA) creates funds for all sponsored project awards in Banner, including all foundation grants that will be managed in R funds. RA reviews expenditures throughout the grant period and monitors spending compliance with the award terms. RA will prepare grant financial reports and close out awards.
