Grants & Gifts Administration

Our office assists faculty and staff in Fulbright College who apply for and receive internal and external funding. We oversee budgets from the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP), coordinate matching funds and cost-sharing for grant proposals, provide oversight of regulatory fiscal compliance, and compile resources for principal investigators (PIs). We support research-related activities including the management of startup funding for new faculty, Research Incentive Funding (RIF), and Service Center and Program Income Management. We work closely with academic departments for all activities related to endowment and gift accounting including review and evaluation of endowment and gift agreements, endowment spending analytics, and compliance. We assist Endowed Chairs in projecting spending and distribution of income and monitor endowment accounts for compliance with donor stipulations and Foundation policies governing spending and reinvestment levels. We provide training to faculty and staff in the areas of research and gift management and compliance and other related areas.
