OCFR Updates

Please mark your calendars for the next OCFR OPEN HOUSE on December 4 at the Brochstein Pavilion from 9am to 11am. Each month Rice faculty and staff attend to share information with us on their research and programs. Don't be left out if you are in need of funding!

The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (OCFR) supports the academic and research goals of Rice University by helping to secure funding from private sources, specifically corporations and philanthropic foundations. In collaboration with the president, provost, deans, and faculty, OCFR seeks corporate and foundation support for institutional priorities and major research initiatives. OCFR works closely with the Offices of Sponsored Research and Research and Cost Accounting, and the larger Division of Resource Development to process and steward corporate and foundation awards.

The OCFR staff is happy to help members of the Rice community solicit corporate and foundation support for academic and research projects. We hope this website will guide you through the process. Please let us know if you have additional questions not addressed here, and please check back often for updates and new information.
