Maggie Ewell and Amanda Fucci-Bartoszek, Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP)
Congratulations on winning a grant award! In this competitive environment, winning a grant means you did a great job putting together a well-written, compelling narrative that speaks to your ability to achieve the specific measurable outcomes that aligns with the funders’ goals. Once awarded, faculty are often eager to get started, but there are quite a few administrative tasks that need to be completed BEFORE you actually get started. Join us to learn the ins and outs, average timeline, and what to expect during post award set up – from lab safety, IRB and IACUC approvals to Conflict of Interest and Export Control plans and sponsors special conditions – this session will give you information so you can help us help you get started as soon as possible.
