Boston College’s Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations (CFR) is a resource for faculty identifying potential funders and developing proposals to submit to foundations and corporations. 

The OSP is the University’s signature authority (authorized official) for proposals and awards. PIs may not submit requests for funding to outside entities (sponsors) without the prior approval of OSP’s Pre Award representative. In most instances, BCSSW Administrative Contacts act as liaisons between faculty and OSP Pre Award staff. 

The Boston College Institutional Review Board's (IRB) mission is to protect the rights and welfare of people who take part in research at Boston College.

The Office for Sponsored Programs maintains lists of internal and external funding sources.

Research Services provides consultation, training, and tutorials to support computing and research at Boston College. The Research Services staff has expertise in statistics, statistical software, qualitative research, surveys, GIS, scientific computation, data analysis, computational mathematics, and visualization. We also provide assistance with coding, databases, Web technologies, and administration and consultation for research oriented computing hardware based within the departments and institutes.
