Managing Research Projects

From the moment a researcher receives a notice of award, all the way through to the project closeout, the Office of Research and Technology Management (ORTM) serves as a partner in effectively managing sponsored projects. ORTM is also responsible for the execution of non-financial agreements that are required for certain types of activities related to research at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.

Agreements

Agreements formalize relationships, define responsibilities and provide a legal framework for conducting research at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. The Office of Pre-Award Service and Agreements (PASA) is responsible for the review and execution of certain non-financial agreements related to research, such as Data Use Agreements (DUAs) or Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs).

Help Throughout the Process

Successful management of sponsored projects requires collaboration among ORTM, the PI and the department- and school- based research administrators. The Office of Pre-Award Services and Agreements (PASA) and the Office of Post-Award Services and Financial Compliance (PASC) are central resources that jointly coordinate and manage awards and agreements.
