Office of Strategic Research Team

The Office of Strategic Research facilitates the research administration process for the faculty and staff within the UCLA Department of Pediatrics and the Children’s Discovery and Innovation Institute. Our staff assist with pre-award activities, such as the contract and grant submission process, budget development and negotiation, clinical research invoicing and reconciliation of payments, liaison between UCLA contract/grant/billing offices and funding agencies, guidance on regulatory processes, and review of billing compliance issues.
