Message from the Associate Dean of Research
The Research Administration team works with research faculty, vice deans, department chairs, and directors to coordinate and plan new research initiatives and provide research core facilities, space, and support systems. We develop and submit grant proposals and manage the entire grant lifecycle. The team also manages contracts, oversees the Cedars-Sinai research funding portfolio, and helps disseminate project results and ensures that important work is published.
