LevelUP Micro-credentialing Program

Principles in Pre-Award Research Administration

During the pre-award phase of the sponsored project lifecycle, the primary goal of the research administrator and the entire proposal team is to ensure the very best possible proposal is submitted to the sponsor. This can be a challenge for even experienced research administrators because of competing deadlines, multiple budget revisions, and onerous regulations and policies. The ultimate reward for the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and persistence in solving problems is the institution being granted the award. In this ultra-competitive environment though, pre-award processes, procedures, and policies must be clearly defined and communicated to the entire team. This module will assist you in preparing for your key roles and responsibilities during the pre-award phase.

After completing this module, you will be able to:
  • Describe the roles of key personnel and the organizational structures used in research administration.
  • Distinguish funding mechanisms.
  • Recognize the research administrator's role in creating a strong proposal.
  • Summarize the role of the research administrator in financial and regulatory compliance issues.
  • Identify the purpose of eRA software.
  • Apply regulations and sponsor guidelines to aspects of budget development.
  • Describe key roles and responsibilities during the final review and submission phase.
