Flower Office of Corporate Sponsored Research

The Office of Corporate Sponsored Research is the principal point of contact for establishing industry-sponsored research agreements at Children's Hospital Boston. The OCSR is the coordinating liaison among our principal investigators, sponsors, Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and budget development. Interfacing among the various departments ensures that all the pieces necessary to proceed with research are in place.

OCSR's primary activities include:
  • Negotiating and managing agreements for clinical trials and basic science research
  • Working with principal investigators to develop budgets for presentation to sponsors
  • Establishing study funds with Research Finance
  • Negotiating sub-contracts with sister institutions where the primary sponsor is industrial
  • Negotiating and managing material transfer agreements (MTA's) on behalf of interested investigators
  • Negotiating confidential disclosure agreements on behalf of investigators
  • Negotiating collaboration agreements
The Office of Corporate Sponsored Research may be reached at 617-919-2721 (4-2721 internally) or by e-mail at OCSR. Our fax number is 617-730-0247. OCSR is located in the Office of Research Administration on the fourth floor of 333 Longwood Avenue on the main CHB campus.
