As research administrators, we are challenged with multiple compliance issues in supporting our researchers. Whether it’s assisting with proposal preparation, facilitating the submission process, award negotiation and acceptance, or managing the award through closeout, there are many aspects of research administration compliance that impact what we do as administrators. Communication is essential between departmental, pre-award and post-award offices to ensure that award compliance is managed effectively and efficiently. This program will examine such areas as best practices for good communication between departmental, pre-award and post-award offices at proposal stages, facilitating budget development and budget justifications which can be defensible in post-award audits, minimizing cost transfers, and managing cost sharing on sponsored projects.
