Non-financial post-award duties include performing comprehensive reviews of a diverse portfolio of sponsored awards, such as fixed-price agreements, clinical research awards, contracts, grants, assistance agreements, and cooperative agreements. This also includes tasks like conveying grant vs. gift determinations and responding to vendor registrations for payments. The Projects Officer/Grants Specialist provides advice to faculty and departmental administrators on critical and/or sensitive sponsored programs issues, interprets a broad range of sponsor policies, government regulations, and award terms and conditions, coordinates and/or endorses prior approval requests, and facilitates award closeouts. They interact with a broad cohort of campus and University offices to facilitate the management, administration, and conduct of sponsored programs. The role also involves assisting in supporting all pre-award and non-financial post-award grant activities to ensure deliverables are achieved timely and in compliance with all standards, regulations, and guidelines for both external sponsors and the University.
