Subject: [RESADM-L] Job Descriptions

 

Hello all – We are currently structured so that there is a central office of grants management.  In addition, in our facilities, we have “Grant Business Managers” who work with our PI’s and Project Managers on pretty much all things financially related to the grant.  The business managers report to the central grants office. I looking to update their job descriptions and was wondering if any of you had similar arrangement and if you had a job description you could share or if you knew where I could look to get samples of similar job descriptions.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Mike
