Award Administration
To fiscally manage research and contract projects, principal investigators (PIs) at Sacramento State work closely with their assigned account administration teams in the offices of Research Administration and Contract Administration. Each team has a lead contact for post-award matters.
The officers and specialists for research and contract account administration perform a host of services for PIs to ensure compliance with the terms of pertinent grant agreements, contracts, University policies, federal regulations and relevant law at every step of the project—from account set-up to closing and audit. As part of their work, the account administration teams assist PIs with the processing of forms required to establish and maintain accounts, make purchases, hire faculty and other project personnel, contract with consultants, and travel.
