NCURA Peer Programs has currently booked all available site visits for Tier A and Tier B sponsored programs reviews for 2025 (i.e., reviews for institutions with sponsored programs dollars under $45M). We are currently unable to book any new engagements for these size institutions for this calendar year.
NCURA's was the most detailed and thorough external review we have received. It was objective, incisive, and provided recommendations the university will act on to improve our research administration.
A Peer Review of the central sponsored programs review provides a holistic review of the broad functions with sponsored programs at the central level and the institutional commitments surrounding the research and scholarship environment. This review includes the main sponsored programs office at an institution, such as a Office of Sponsored Projects.
At some institutions, sponsored programs activities may be decentralized to a school, college, division, or research unit. Our unit-level reviews provide a holistic review of the sponsored programs functions managed by the unit and the interaction between the unit and central operations.
The NCURA Research Compliance Peer Review (non-financial) examines how your institution integrates its research enterprise with institutional goals and expectations, as well as how it operationalizes an effective research compliance program that promotes an ethical, responsible and compliant conduct of research.
NCURA Global Peer Reviews adapt our sponsored programs reviews for non-US-based institutions. This Peer Review is especially valuable to ensure appropriate processes and approaches are in place when receiving US funding or working with US institutions. The review looks at compliance with US policies.
