How are staff assigned in OSP and what do they do?
OSP’s administrative structure provides the researcher with a pre-award contact (a research administrator) and a post-award contact (a grant accountant), each of whom is assigned to provide services to several university departments. The research administrator will assist primarily with seeking funding opportunities, developing and submitting proposals, and negotiating awards. The post-award grant accountant will assist primarily with financial management of the award (account setup, billing, financial reporting, and close-out). The post-award grant accountant will also assist with requests for an extension of time, budget revisions, and other post-award administrative matters.
