Pre-Award Operations
Pre-Award
Collaborate with faculty, department administrators, and partner groups to ensure compliance with sponsor terms and conditions, University policies, and federal requirements for sponsored projects; review and endorse sponsored projects proposals; negotiate and accept awards that support sponsored projects; and prepare, negotiate, and issue subawards issued under Stanford sponsored project awards.
Members of the team also serve as liaisons with sponsors for non-financial award management matters, such as prior approval requests, and as resources for the campus community for questions that may arise during the life of a sponsored project.
Prepare, review, negotiate, oversee and manage non-standard research-related business agreements related to the University’s core mission of education and research but falls outside of traditional sponsored research grants and contracts.
