West Des Moines, United States Des Moines University Full time

Join our dynamic team as a Grant Writer, supporting the Executive Director of Research in managing internal grant programs and partnerships. This crucial role involves overseeing the entire grant and lifecycle of sponsored program administration, from identifying funding sources to post-award administration. If you are a knowledgeable grants professional with exceptional writing skills and a passion for advancing research, teaching, and learning missions, we want to hear from you

  • Write requested portions of grant proposals, contracts, subcontracts, and reports as appropriate. This may include administrative and resource-sharing core components, budget justifications, description of resources and environment (in consultation with others in and outside of the Office of Research), etc.
  • Develop and edit complex content for proposals including peer-reviewed publications, research grants, and other program activities.
  • Keep appropriate administrative staff apprised of the status of submissions when proposals are funded to prepare for the human resource needs and financial aspects of the post-award process. Take the lead on working with investigators or staff of each research team and others as appropriate to ensure funds are expended in an appropriate and timely manner to eliminate loss of funding.
  • Promote opportunities for external support by working collaboratively with the Research Development Coordinator to identify funding opportunities (and submission deadlines) through routine surveillance of sources such as SPIN, NIH Guides, NIH Request for Applications and Program Announcements, etc., and match specific funding opportunities with PIs based on knowledge of faculty and staff research/scholarly expertise/interests as well as knowledge of sponsors.

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's and/or advanced degree required.

  • Experience interpreting and/or providing consultation to others regarding federal financial regulations.
