Office of Sponsored Projects Administration
The
Office of Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) assists investigators in
identifying possible sources of funding for research, training
and service activities. It maintains a library of current materials
on external funding opportunities and agencies and extensive electronic
resources that may be accessed through its home page. To help
in the preparation of grant proposals, SPA has published a Sponsored Projects Handbook, which is available in printed
form or electronically.
SPA
is responsible for the submission of all the proposals from
the Health Sciences Division for sponsored research and for
the acceptance of any awards resulting from those proposals,
with the following exception: Clinical trials and many proposals
to commercial entities. The Office has several additional responsibilities
with respect to proposals that are accepted, including negotiating
the terms of the awards, setting up financial accounts, managing
those aspects of post-award administration that do not involve
financial accounting, and ensuring that the terms of the award
are fulfilled.
Primary
responsibility for assisting administrators and investigators
in the Mailman School of Public Health has been assigned to
specific members of the SPA staff.
