How We Can Help You
After a grant is awarded, we help you manage grants by:
- Making sure the grant agreement is reviewed by Sponsored Program Administration.
- Sending report reminders for narrative and financial reports, approximately four weeks prior to the due date.
- Reviewing interim, annual, and final narrative reports.
- Coordinating foundation and corporate site visits to campus.
- Advising on how to ask the foundation for:
- a no-cost extension,
- budget reallocation, or
- other grant modifications.
- Sending reminders to the funder for pledge payments.
- Strategically planning with you the next grant cycle for this funder.
- Researching with you other corporate and foundations that may be potential partners.
Reminders
If you, as the PI, receive a grant agreement from a foundation or corporation, please forward the agreement to cfrdirector@umaryland.edu so that we can have Sponsored Program Administration review it for you. Do not sign any grant agreement between a funder and UMB, UMB Foundation, your center/institute/department, or school.
