Research Management Group (RMG)

The fundamental mission of the Research Management Group (RMG) is to facilitate and promote the research endeavors of the School of Medicine Faculty. The RMG provides oversight and management of sponsored projects and ensures compliance with sponsor and University expectations for managing sponsored funds.

Research Process Manager (RPM) Department Assignment List

To make it convenient for department staff to deliver items to RMG (in lieu of ID mail), we've set up a drop off location in Modular B at 1215 Welch Road.

Where to find it
The drop off location is a bookcase that is immediately to the left as you enter Mod B from the deck between Mod A & B. (One of the shelves is clearly labeled "Deliver to RMG").

RMG Courier-daily pick up
Our courier will stop by on a daily basis sometime between 12:30pm and 1:00pm to pick up items from that drop off location.

Meeting handouts and presentations

Shuttle Service offered between the Medical Center and Stanford Menlo Park. See schedule.

Office of Sponsored Research School of Medicine Contract and Grant Officer Team
New OSR assignments
The scope of the types of contracts negotiated by the C&G Officers has been significantly reduced to allow maximum time for clinical trial contract negotiations. The majority of the OSR SoM team's workload will be clinical trial agreements and amendments/no-cost-extensions.

RMG staff acknowledged:

Key Changes:

--Reference letters (if required) must be submitted through the NIH eRA Commons rather than included as part of the grant application packet.
