Re: Grant Writer in a Sponsored Programs office? Maggie Bryan-Peterson 02 May 2007 11:28 EST
Megan -- A little over three years ago, we hired a grants writer for our then pre-award office, and in the course of the past two years, we have grown $1M per year in committed funds, so I would say that the investment was well worth it. I had a specifric role in mind for this individual and defined the work that she would do. I have a job description if you would like to see it. Send me your e-mail address and I can forward the information to you directly and not "busy" up the listserv for others. Our Institutional Grant Writer did not work in "administration" but had a specific charge.

Our administration has offered us the opportunity to hire a Grant Writer to work from our Research and Sponsored Programs office. We are a medium sized office in a state University looking to jump start faculty enthusiasm and increase our number of grant submissions, however, we have some hesitations that faculty members will actually utilize and seek assistance from someone in this position. We are worried about their potential work flow and assigned duties, we do not need any assistance in pre or post award management. Our questions are the following: 1. Do you know of any Grant Writers under the umbrella of a Sponsored Programs office and if so: * What are their assigned duties? * How is their work flow? 2. If you had to hire someone as a Grant Writer in a Sponsored Program office and did not need help with pre-award administration, what would be your "dream job" for this person? 3. Do you have a specific job description you would be willing to share with us? Any other thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Megan -- Megan E.
