Hi Julie
Here at the UW I have worked in a few departments providing post award
support.

Depending on the number of grants awarded, I meet with the PI's either
monthly or quarterly to discuss their grant awards, terms and conditions of
the awards, re-budgeting if required, summarize the existing budgets,
encourage them to develop spending plans.  I estimate projected costs and
remaining balances base on that information.  This helps provide information
to the PI for their progress reports/renewals and any other issues, such
remaining balances.  I assist with the requesting of approval for
carryforward funds to the next funding period, and also discuss the status
of any sub-accounts and subcontracts affiliated with their project. I act as
a liaison for the PI, both with the funding sponsor and the Grant & Contract
Accounting office. By meeting with the PI's quarterly to discuss the status
of their budgets also allows me to address closing issues and assist our GCA
office with finalizing agency financial reports within a timely manner.

I attempt follow up on all of the above to ensure everything makes it
through the systems both at the agency level and the University level.

That's just a quick summary of some of the things that I do at the dept.
level for Post award support.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Post award grants administration: process question
Importance: High

Good afternoon to all of you,

As some of you probably are aware, my own Department is somewhat new to
grants administration at the Post-award level, and I would like to be able
to provide the Director with information from other Administrators as to how
post award grants are managed elsewhere.  Do you have Grants Administrators
at the Department or Division level?  Also, do you/Grants Administrators
meet regularly with your Faculty members to review their grants, and provide
advice on expenses and talk about projections of various budget line items,
etc?  This is what I used to do when I was at my previous University,
however, I want to find out if we were unique (where I was at prior to
Stanford) or if we were the norm.

Please let me know, thank you.

Julie Edgerton

I think Gwen's SRA route is the usual method (so you need formal receipt
and assignment first).  And remember that you never really get to correct,
as in "edit".  Instead, you get to supplement with corrected versions.
The reviewers still get to see all of the goofs that were originally made.
