They interpret sponsor regulations and guidelines and ensure fulfillment of all requirements and compliance with rules and regulations. They engage in the development of budgets and all administrative aspects of applications, oversee the progress of all applications, and serve as liaisons with the University's Office of Sponsored Programs.
