Contracts & Grants

The Department of Education Studies provides our Faculty administrative assistance throughout the award cycle from proposal preparation & submission to award maintenance and closeout.  We will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) to produce and submit the most compelling proposal.  The Fund Manager (FM) will work in partnership with the Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) to provide support for development of large, complex, multidisciplinary research proposals.
