Mission: Cogr is an association of leading universities and research institutions. We are the national authorities on the financial and regulatory infrastructure, and the corresponding compliance requirements associated with managing federal research grants and contracts within research institutions. We provide information, analyses, advice, policy perspective, and historical context to our members in the areas of research administration and compliance, financial oversight, and intellectual property. Cogr communicates the viewpoint and concerns of its members and fosters productive relationships between the research community and federal policymakers, advocating for innovation and change that avoid unnecessary regulatory burden.
Programs: The council promoted policies and practices in research and training that fairly reflect the mutual interests and separate obligations of universities and federal and other sponsors. The council conducted objective and timely analysis of financial, compliance, administrative and intellectual property issues in research for the benefit of its members, their sponsors and other higher education associations. The council also worked with governmental agencies and other organizations to develop a common understanding of the impact that policies, regulations and practices may have on the research of its membership.
