The effective administration of contracts and grants is an essential operational function. The provost and vice president for academic affairs establishes and publishes procedures designed to assure that all research and sponsored programs are conducted in accordance with university policies and procedures; with laws and regulations; and with the provisions of the contracts and grants themselves. These procedures for the administration of grants and contracts are outlined in the Technical Assistance Manual published by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
Deans and academic chairs/directors are responsible for reviewing proposals for grants and contracts and for assuring that the proposed commitments of unit resources are feasible and realistic.
