The City College of New York’s (CCNY) Grants and Sponsored Programs (GSP) is an administrative unit in the Office of the Provost. The GSP’s primary mission is to provide the campus with professional guidance and administrative support for all sponsored research activities. Our goals are to improve the overall grant preparation and submission experiences for the Principal Investigators (PIs), enhance efficiency in our services, and ensure all sponsored research activities comply with the federal, state and institutional research policies and mandates.
The Grants Administrator is a mid-level position in Grants and Sponsored Programs Office. The primary responsibility of the Grants Administrator is to support pre-award and post-award functional areas within GSP. Pre-award services include identifying potential external funding sources; interpreting sponsor guidelines and City University of New York (CUNY) and CCNY policies; providing advice and assistance on proposal development; preparing budgets and other sponsor forms; and coordinating online proposal submission. Post-award services include providing guidance on Research Foundation of City University of New York (RFCUNY) account management; assisting with sponsor agency requirements and documentation; disseminating fiscal information; assisting PIs in budget modification or other project management functions; and preparing annual or other required reports.
Reporting to the Management Team of GSP, the Grants Administrator will work with PIs to prepare proposals by developing budgets, managing online and hard-copy submissions, responding to requests from sponsoring agencies, and ensuring compliance with submission requirements specified in the solicitation announcements, agency standards and CCNY policies. The Grants Administrator will also be responsible of managing and tracking proposal submissions and preparing reports.
