Post-Award

Post-Award specialists at CHeSS manage the administrative and financial requirements of grant accounts, from the award date to the project closeout.

CHeSS staff assures fiscal and programmatic compliance with awarding agencies, allocate the Center’s staff and related faculties’ effort, accurately track and report expenditures and salary disbursements, and provide financial forecasting.  The post-award staff prepares detailed expense budgets (based on awarded funds) and works cooperatively with principal investigators and project managers to ensure proper spending and expense allocation throughout the project period.  Post-award also interacts with the University’s Comptroller to process expenditures and funnel reimbursements to individuals.
