Jefferson's Office of Research Administration (ORA) assists researchers in applying for, and managing sponsored funding through our mission, which is:

• To serve as the official point of contact for the various
    sponsors of scientific and scholarly activity.
• To facilitate the relationship between Jefferson investigators
    and these sponsors.
• To ensure sponsored projects are managed in accordance
    with sponsor regulations and Jefferson policies.
• To provide education and resources to support the
    management of sponsored programs.

Research Administration is managed through, Research Administration Center of Excellence (RACE), a shared service center that provides faculty-centric research administration support across Jefferson
