Come join our growing central office at East Carolina University - we are hiring a Sponsored Programs Officer for the Pre-Award Services team!
Under the umbrella of the Office of Research, the Office of Research Administration (ORA) provides centralized pre- and post-award services related to sponsored projects. ORA Sponsored Programs Officers (SPOs) advise campus research administrators and individuals from all disciplines in relationship development with sponsors and assure institutional submission of compliant, effective, fundable proposals with viable budgets. SPOs exercise the authority of the Chancellor, under delegation to ORA, to approve and submit all proposals to external sponsors.
The Sponsored Programs Officer (SPO) functions in a high-level professional capacity to facilitate research and sponsored activity across the University while constantly striving to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of research administration services and to minimize institutional financial and reputational risk. The SPO provides the final institutional review of grant and contract proposals before submission to ensure responsiveness to sponsor requirements, the appropriate application of costing principles, the ethical conduct of project activities, and compliance with government and sponsor regulations and UNC System and ECU policies regarding sponsored activity.
