Grants and Contracts Specialist Team

The Grants and Contracts Specialists Team provides planning, assistance, support, and compliance for all aspects of pre-award and post-award non-financial sponsored research and sponsored programs administration. The Grants and Contracts Specialists Team seeks to provide customer service-oriented and comprehensive support to investigators and administrators in order to be fully compliant with and responsive to extramural sponsor requirements and guidelines throughout the life of your proposal and award.

Pre-award/grant Proposal Team

The Pre-Award Team provides planning, assistance, support, and compliance for all aspects of pre-award sponsored research and sponsored programs administration.   The Pre-Award Team provides assistance to faculty/administrators in interpreting funding opportunity announcements (FOA), Sponsor guidelines/requirements, and University policies & procedures.  They oversee the rigorous and granular review of complex proposals, through the complex process of proposal preparation and submission to various Sponsors. The Pre-Award Team provides expert guidance in navigating Sponsor guidelines and electronic submission portals (ASSIST, Grants.gov, Research.gov, Proposal Central, EERE Exchange, eBRAP, NSPIRES, and more) including registration, how to initiate proposals, education on content of proposal components, will troubleshoot any issues encountered, review complete/final proposal to ensure compliance with Sponsor/University/Federal/FOA requirements, and serve as Authorized Organizational Representative.  The Pre-Award Team is also responsible for post-submission materials; pre-award negotiation (ie Just-In-Time); and incoming award transfers.

Post-Award/Grant Award Team

The Post-Award Team  serves as an institutional resource to advise, interpret, and make determinations on regulations and policies, sponsor award terms and conditions, and interpret all applicable sponsor policies, procedures, regulations, and statutes.  The Post-Award Team serves as a liaison between investigators, academic units and other administrative offices and provides technical assistance, guidance, and advice to faculty, administrators, and other professional staff for sponsored project administration.  It reviews grant awards and project documents including budgets, for their accuracy, appropriateness, and compliance with regulations/policy; facilitates award set-up (including ensuring all compliance matters are addressed); reviews/submits progress reports; provides guidance to Investigators  on post-award related actions such as change in scope, budget reallocation, change in effort, change in Key Personnel, no-cost extension, leave of absence of PI and other matters; communicates with Sponsors on behalf of Investigator; and, facilitates outgoing award transfers.
