Award Management

Post Award Management

The Principal Investigator is responsible for the overall management of his or her sponsored project. Many times, the financial responsibility is managed on the PI’s behalf by a departmental business person. Post award management includes reconciling accounts on a repeating basis to ensure only those reasonable, allocable and allowable expenses are charged to the sponsored project, tracking the effort of key personnel, tracking the performance to ensure that the project is completed in a timely manner and ensuring that the specific award terms are followed.

Spotlight Sessions

ORA's Spotlights are one-hour long, in-depth, refresher learning sessions focused on specific topics involving the managing of sponsored funding. Spotlight sessions are held virtually and made available for on-demand viewing. Click on the link in the Video column to view a session.

Research Administrator's Listserv

What is the researchadmin listserv and who should subscribe?

This listserv has been created by the University of Maryland’s Division of Research in order to share information about our professional development opportunities for all of those who are interested, but is especially tailored toward business managers and staff who work in the field of research administration. This list will be used to share information about Spotlight sessions, the Certificate in Research Administration program, and other events hosted by the Division of Research.

Certificate Programs

The Office of Research Administration (ORA) and the Sponsored Programs Accounting & Compliance (SPAC) are committed to providing guidance to the university community on Federal, State, and University policies and regulations for sponsored research. To enhance this effort, our offices have developed the Certificate in Research Administration program.
