Contracts Administrators
The Contracts Administrator is the senior member of the Office of Sponsored Programs management team, with responsibility for liaison between faculty and corporate sponsors, campus administrative offices and the central office of The Research Foundation. Experienced in contract and subcontract negotiation and intellectual property matters, a Contracts Administrator will be the primary contact for investigators and sponsors when the results of any award will be a contract, subcontract or complex grant or cooperative research agreement. Contracts Administrators provide assistance in proposal development, fiscal planning and management, and patent and licensing issues, as well as general contract administration. They will draft and/or negotiate terms and conditions for full range of industrial and governmental agreements.  As authorized institutional officials, Contracts Administrators may approve and sign all documents pertaining to proposal submission, award acceptance, and contract execution. They authorize establishment of accounts and fiscal transactions pertaining to the advance of funds, increases in budget and extensions of term dates, with and without additional funding. Contracts Administrators also represent the institution and faculty in executing all agreements which require institutional approval and acknowledgment. Any sponsor document which requires a signature of any sort, (e.g., investigator, chair, dean, institutional official) should be brought to the attention of the Contracts Administrator. 

Clinical Trials Administrators
Clinical Trials Administrators negotiate, administer and assist faculty with proposal development for all pharmaceutical company-sponsored clinical trial agreements where the protocol has been developed by the company. They also work closely with the Office of Clinical Trials in the Office of Scientific Affairs (SOM) to provide guidance on budget preparation.

NYS Contract Administrator
The NYS Contract Administrator assists faculty with proposal preparation/submission, contract negotiation and administration for all contracts sponsored by agencies of the State of New York.

Grants Administrators
Grants Administrators are responsible for assisting project directors in the preparation of grant applications and the administration of grant awards. In addition, they are one of the contacts/liaisons between departments and/or project directors and the sponsors for information relating to proposals and awards. Grants Administrators have assigned campus departments. They work closely with faculty, administrative assistants, graduate students and other research personnel. Often, your Grants Administrator will be one of your first contacts at the Office of Sponsored Programs. When preparing a grant application, a Grants Administrator will guide you through the Research Foundation of SUNY’s review process. In preparing for this review, the Grants Administrator needs to ensure SUNY/Research Foundation and sponsor guidelines and policies are being followed. The goal is to make this process as easy as possible. Therefore, should you decide you are going to submit a proposal, contact your Grants Administrator as soon as possible.  In most cases, if a project director has a question about a pending and/or active grant account(s), contact should be make with a Grants Administrator.

Account Establishment and Maintenance Unit
The Account Establishment & Maintenance Unit plays an important role in the grant administration process.  They are responsible for the coding, input, and establishment of pending proposal applications and the set up of awards received from sponsors into the Research Foundation’s Grants Management System as well as overseeing the technical reporting process.
