Changes to Sponsored Research Structure and Contacts

November 6, 2025

As a part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen operations, Sponsored Research (SR) will be implementing an internal restructuring which will impact the Proposals & Award Acceptance and Contracts & Negotiations teams. Teams will be restructured into a Pre-Award team, an Award Management team, and a Contracts & Award Acceptance team:  The Pre-Award team (previously known as the Proposals team) will handle all pre-award activities, including proposal review and submission, post-submission updates, and other activities such as submission of just-in-time information; the Award Management team will handle all post-award activities; and the new Contracts & Award Acceptance team (previously known as Contracts & Negotiations) will handle all complex award reviews and all negotiations. As a result of these changes, some SR team members will have new roles, and you may see a change in the team members assigned to your department. Team changes and a list of new constituency assignments will go into effect on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
