DBMI supports faculty by providing essential administrative services, allowing you to focus on what matters most—research. Our research administration, research development, and software engineering teams assist with grant applications and management, creating template documents to support research, and web application development and maintenance.

Research Administration Team

The research administration team supports pre- and post-award grant management. During the pre-award process, our dedicated team will help you plan your budget, review sponsor guidelines, manage communications with the central CU Anschutz office, and submit the proposal. After you receive the grant, this team will manage the project fiscally and administratively. The team will ensure you understand the sponsor guidelines, meet deadlines, and manage your budget effectively.  

Research Development Team

The research development team provides capacity-building to advance research through developmental editing of grant proposals and manuscripts, including training and consultation, and tailored investigator feedback to master written communication and grantsmanship. This team supports faculty advancement from Early-Stage Investigator through established PI career stages, communicates diverse sponsor funding opportunities, assists research portfolio development and expansion, advises on responses to reviewer feedback and support team science endeavors. The research development team cultivates resources for the DBMI research community (e.g., tutorials and template documents supporting research and scholarship requirements). 

Software Engineering Team

The software engineering team is responsible for deploying and maintaining web applications and various services. They assist Principal Investigators (PIs) within the department with the development and implementation of their applications, while also managing ongoing projects. The team provides educational opportunities through seminar sessions and a monthly blog, in addition to offering one-on-one mentoring to equip team members with the necessary tools for successful web application maintenance and effective software development practices. Recent projects include Monarch and ECHO. The team has collaborated across the CU Anschutz Campus with the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine, the CU Cancer Center, and the CAM Lab. Comprising four members, the team specializes in front-end development, back-end development, pipelines, and design.
