Grant Specialist

Job Description
Day-to-day:
Review and interpret sponsor funding opportunity announcements to identify applicable opportunities and confirm institutional alignment.
Thoroughly analyze sponsor guidelines and instructions—often extensive (up to 200+ pages)—to ensure full compliance with submission requirements.
Develop detailed proposal checklists outlining all required components, including narratives, biosketches, prior grant documentation, budgets, budget justifications, formatting requirements (font size, margins), and submission protocols.
Coordinate with departmental administrators and research teams to support proposal preparation and internal review processes.
Ensure proposals meet sponsor-specific requirements across the entire submission package, not just the narrative (e.g., NIH, NSF, and other federal sponsors).
Review proposals for compliance and completeness, focusing on sponsor rules and technical requirements rather than scientific content.
