Post-Award Services

The Office of Research includes Post-Award Administrative Services to support research at the UM-Dearborn campus by providing and continuously improving post-award efforts for externally sponsored projects (and related cost-share), internally funded research grants, and other project/grants that are classed as research.

ORA staff will serve as the Single Administrative Point of Contacts (SAPOC) for in-scope projects (although this is not meant to remove the responsibilities of project directors, principal investigators, or department administrators to understand and follow the sponsor requirements for completing transactional activities for their projects on a timely basis.)  Post-award staff support the campus by handling the financial monitoring and reconciliation process, holding regular meetings with the project director(s), problem investigation and resolution as necessary, liaising with ORSP and Sponsored Programs regarding post-award activities, assisting with required reporting, and managing the closeout process.  The SAPOC will partner with PIs, PDs, and appropriate unit administrative staff to ensure that financial transactions are in compliance with University and sponsor guidelines.
