Office of Grants and Contracts (OGC)
View Staff Directory | Return to Department Index
The Office of Grants and Contracts (OGC) acts as the interface between faculty and sponsors, communicating requests, solving problems, submitting proposals, negotiating and receiving awards, and maintaining project accounts for researchers. OGC staff are responsible for ensuring that proposals, budgets, and contracts comply with federal law, sponsor guidelines, and Research Foundation and university policy.
OGC’s structure is designed to efficiently accommodate the needs of researchers and sponsors. OGC is divided by type of sponsor. Private industry and for-profit contracts are administered by the division of OGC referred to as the Office of Business and Industry Contracts (OBIC). The rest of OGC handles grants and contracts from non-profit organizations and government agencies. Pre and post-award responsibilities are sometimes split among sponsored program officers. Pre-award handles development and submission of proposals, while post-award handles all administrative and compliance aspects of the awards. Constituencies are assigned to sponsored program officers according to academic or administrative unit. View current constituency assignments.
