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.
