The document is a comprehensive directory compiled by the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) as of July 2015, listing the primary representatives from its member institutions, which consist mainly of leading American universities, medical centers, and research organizations. The compilation includes detailed contact information for high-ranking officials responsible for research administration, compliance, finance, and sponsored programs at each institution. Positions represented encompass Vice Presidents for Research, Chief Financial Officers, Directors of Sponsored Programs, Controllers, and similar administrative roles, illustrating the organizational structure and accountability for research and financial operations within these institutions.
This resource facilitates communication and collaboration among COGR member organizations, supporting a network that oversees substantial federally funded research activities across the United States. The inclusion of representatives from a broad array of states and institutional types—from large public university systems to private research institutions and specialized hospitals—underscores the national scope and diversity of COGR’s membership. The directory reflects the importance of coordinated administrative leadership in research compliance and governance and serves as a vital reference for fostering inter-institutional dialogue and sharing best practices in research management, policy compliance, and government relations.
