Sponsored Projects and Business Management

Sponsored Projects Office

The Sponsored Projects Office assists investigators with applying for, negotiating, and administratively managing sponsored project funding. The office ensures that proposals comply with institutional and sponsor requirements, provides appropriate stewardship of externally provided resources, and implements administrative practices that support and strengthen the scientific program. Sponsored Projects issues subcontracts to consortium institutions, performs all post-award modifications, and conducts grant closeout paperwork. The group also serves as a primary administrative liaison with sponsors and with peer institutions collaborating with sponsors and Hospital researchers.
