Do you want to enter into sponsored research
agreements with external parties? Do you have
questions about managing your awards after they are
won? If so, the place to go is the Office of Grant and
Contract Administration (OGCA). OGCA is responsible
for the review, processing and submission of
proposals to external sponsors; negotiations, formal
acceptance and execution of awards; and for
administrative post-award oversight of grants and
contracts for externally sponsored projects. (OGCA
also has administrative offices on the 2nd Floor of
Butterfield Terrace.) We’ll also be on hand to answer
questions about the Community of Science directory
and to offer assistance with COS profile updates.
