InfoEd Global

At Boston College, our research is guided by a commitment to intellectual excellence, ethical leadership, and service to the common good. The Sponsored Research Training & Education Hub supports this mission by providing faculty, investigators, and research administrators with the knowledge and tools needed to pursue sponsored research with clarity and confidence.

This site offers streamlined training, practical guidance, and key resources spanning the full research lifecycle—from proposal development to award management and compliance. Our goal is to help you navigate the sponsored research process efficiently and responsibly, allowing you to focus on scholarship that enriches understanding and advances BC’s mission.

Together, we foster a research community dedicated to discovery, collaboration, and the pursuit of a more compassionate world.
