Proposal & Award Cycle

Sponsored Programs

OSP and C&G Staff Contacts

The Office for Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the Contracts and Grants Division (C&G) are two separate offices.  Together they operate as cradle-to-grave service providers for faculty. 

Pre-Award (OSP)

Each grants administrator in OSP is responsible for a number of academic departments, centers, and other administrative units.  PIs should work directly with their assigned OSP grants administrator to obtain assistance preparing and submitting proposals and negotiating and accepting awards.  OSP staff also process subcontracts and subawards, pending awards, pre-award spending requests, no-cost extensions, approvals for CASB exceptions, and residual balances. 

Post-Award (C&G)

Staff members in C&G are assigned by task; consequently, a single PI could deal with several individuals depending upon the particular issue.  Award set-up is processed by several staff members assigned by sponsor.  Post-award invoicing and reporting activities are assigned by department.  Electronic budget amendments are assigned to one individual; electronic check requests to a second; electronic purchase orders, e-tickets, e-travel authorities, and journal vouchers are assigned to a third; and paper journal vouchers, PARs, and other paper adjustments are assigned to the fourth staff member.
