Pre-award administrators each support a portfolio of departments within A&S. To find your post-award administrator please visit: Meet the Team | A&S Research Administration (virginia.edu) The pre-award phase begins once a PI has decided to submit a proposal or collaborate on a proposal submitted through another institution or school. Please reach out to your pre-award administrator as soon as possible to ensure adequate time to develop and submit your proposal. Pre-award administrators support PIs and departments by:

- Managing grant proposal submissions from concept development through upload and submission of final proposal documents

- Serving as a technical resource to faculty and staff to interpret notices of funding opportunities and sponsor rules and regulations.

- Ensuring proposals are submitted in full compliance with sponsor and UVA policies; this ensures a smooth and efficient transition to project set up and implementation if a grant is awarded

- Developing and reviewing proposal budgets and supporting budget materials

- Assisting with the preparation and submission of files in response to post-proposal, but pre-grant sponsor requests such as Just In Time requests

- Maintaining all documentation related to proposal development and submission

- Reviewing accuracy and compliance of sub-award packages submitted with proposals
