Partners Across Rice

Because organizational funding (with the exception of industry contracts) accrues to both philanthropic and research totals, and because recruiting is an integral part of a company’s relationship with Rice, OCFR acts as a bridge to the Office of the Provost, particularly the Vice Provost for Research, with whom it has a “dotted line” relationship.

Within the Office of Research, OCFR interacts regularly with:

• Office of Sponsored Projects and Research Compliance (SPARC)
• Office of Proposal Development (OPD)
• Office of Technology Transfer (OTT)
• Office of the General Counsel (OGC)
• Controller’s Office and, within the Controller’s Office
• Office of Research and Cost Accounting
