Post-Award Services

ORI's Post-Award Services team is dedicated to supporting faculty and staff in the effective management of externally funded projects. From award setup to closeout, our team ensures compliance with sponsor requirements and institutional policies, enabling researchers to focus on achieving the goals of their instruction, research, and other sponsored activities.

Post-award administrators are responsible for managing the financial and administrative aspects of sponsored projects after an award has been granted. They ensure compliance with sponsor terms, institutional policies, and applicable regulations. Key duties typically include setting up project accounts, monitoring budgets and expenditures, preparing financial reports and invoices, coordinating effort reporting, processing award modifications, and assisting with closeout. Their role is critical to ensuring accountability, transparency, and the smooth administration of external funding throughout the project lifecycle.
