As is the case in many Universities, the administration of grants within SAS is primarily the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI), assisted by the Director of Research in the Office of Research and Graduate Education. In addition, support is also provided by the business staff assigned to the PI's department. At SAS, the Business Office provides guidance and direction to departmental staff as necessary.
Grant proposals are handled by the Office of Research.
Every department has an assigned Office of Research Grant Specialist. While the daily project administration is handled at the department level, the Grant Specialist is available for inquiries and assistance.
Every department also has an Office of Research Accountant individually assigned to them. They are available for inquiries and assistance regarding the post-award process.
