Research Strategy and Operations

Central to Tufts University, the Research Strategy and Operations team serves as the nucleus of the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. Our scope encompasses Strategic Research Development, Research Infrastructure Support, and Strategic Research Operations, offering support for research and scholarly activities, research core facilities, and postdoctoral affairs.

The Strategic Research Development (SRD) team partners with investigators, staff, and leadership across the institution to enhance federally-funded research and scholarship capacity through strategic, innovative approaches. Our mission aligns with institutional priorities with a focus on developing large high-caliber interdisciplinary proposals and advancing early-career faculty research funding capabilities. We also oversee the OVPR seed funding programs, coordinate internal competitions for limited funding opportunities, and manage designated faculty honorifics.
