Grant Administration

The Office of Grants Administration is the central office responsible for all aspects of research grants and contracts at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute. Our staff manages both external funding (from federal and non-federal sponsors of research) and internal funding provided through Houston Methodist-sponsored grants. We also oversee departmental budget compliance with sponsor agreements. We assist investigators in the preparation and submission of applications for external grants and review and negotiate contracts with industry sponsors for basic and clinical research.

For more information regarding grants and contracts, please contact the office at 346.561.7936.
