Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

I need to identify BMC rules on indirect costs (IDC)

The Indirect Cost Rate for Sponsored Programs policy provides a short overview of IDC requirements.  Please consult the new IDC standard operating procedure manual, effective May 1, 2024, for details.

I am new to BMC and seek a summary of research resources

The new investigator guide includes all three resources types:  FAQs, list of Research Enterprise offices, and training opportunities. Department administrators and research staff should also find the information helpful.

The investigator FAQs and research offices and training opportunities charts are also available separately.
