Our Office

At the Office of Research and Strategic Partnerships, we work with Pratt faculty, students, and external partners across sectors to maximize the positive impact of Pratt research inside and outside of the Institute’s campus. We support research that aligns with the Institute’s mission to promote academic excellence, and its deep commitment to equitable forms of discovery and growth.

Whether you are Pratt faculty, staff, or a student looking for support in developing your research, or an external organization looking to collaborate with us, our staff is here to help.

Our team is eager to engage with faculty researchers on efforts such as:

Project Development: Our staff is able to provide support for faculty taking an early-stage idea for research through to finding funding, developing a team, partnership agreements, and grant administration.

Human Subjects Research Participation: All projects conducted at Pratt involving human subjects that meet the definition of research must be reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). We can provide guidance and approval to ensure quality research involving human subjects is conducted under the auspices of the College.

Award Management: Once you have been successfully granted an award, there are a number of responsibilities and procedures that Principal Investigators (PI) must follow to ensure compliance with Pratt internal guidelines, the guidelines of the funding organization, as well as local, state, and federal law.
