Research Administration

Support faculty in developing grant proposals — budget development, compliance checks, sponsor guidelines, biosketches, data management plans, and the dreaded 'specific aims page' that determines whether anyone reads the rest. Manage internal deadlines that are always two weeks before the sponsor deadline. Track funding opportunities, manage submissions in Cayuse or RAMP, and chase PIs who miss every deadline.

Manage the Institutional Review Board (IRB) process for human subjects research: protocol review (exempt, expedited, full board), informed consent document review, continuing reviews, adverse event reporting, and CITI training compliance. Ensure compliance with the Common Rule (45 CFR 46), HIPAA for health-related research, FERPA for student data research, and sponsor-specific requirements. Manage the growing volume of data-only research protocols that use existing datasets.
