Post Award Services

Post-award staff are responsible for the accounting and administration of all grants awarded through RSP. Once a grant has been awarded by the sponsor, the oversight of the grant award is passed from pre-award to the post-award staff to administer the grant. The list below will guide you to the post-award staff member specifically responsible for assistance with your grant.
