What is the Grants Management Branch and how do I interact with them?
The Grants Management Branch holds the official files for the institute and all official documents you send them must be originals. During the course of your grant, you may be asked for co-signed documents. These must be on official university letterhead and signed by the fellow, the sponsor, the department chair, and the university business official listed on the face page of your grant application. Please also note that the Notice of Fellowship Award contains the name of your Grants Management Specialist (GMS), which it will refer to as your Grants Specialist. Your GMS is located in the Grants Management Branch. The Notice of Fellowship Award also contains the name of your Government Program Official (PO), which it will refer to as your Program Official. Your PO will be your primary contact, whereas your GMS will be the primary contact for your university business official.
