DOM Research Administration
The Department of Medicine Research Administration supports a wide range of sponsored project needs—from proposal development through project closeout. We serve as your connection to the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Research and the services they provide.
If we don’t directly handle a request, we’re happy to connect you with the right office that can assist. All grant proposals must be routed through our office, even if the sponsor does not require institutional approval. Doing so will help ensure a smoother process when your project is funded.
If you don’t already have a designated contact, or you’re unsure who to reach out to based on the list below, please email us at domres@pitt.edu.
