Useful Links
The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) at the University of Michigan understands the vital importance of staying informed about federal research policies, funding opportunities, and regulatory updates. That is why we’ve curated a comprehensive collection of useful links related to Federal Research Relations. These resources, ranging from Congressional bodies to key Executive Branch agencies, as well as various research and higher education associations, serve as a valuable tool for our researchers. By providing easy access to this wealth of information, OVPR aims to support and empower the research community to navigate the complex landscape of federal research relations effectively.
