research administrators play in the management and reporting of sponsored
projects. Attendees will gain insight into how they can best support the
lifecycle of research grants and contracts, including overall project
management, timeline tracking, and compliance with reporting and terms. The
webinar will discuss tools and strategies that research administrators can use
to support Principal Investigators (PIs) in understanding award obligations and
ensuring successful project execution. Key topics will include navigating award
terms and reporting requirements, managing deadlines, and working with central
offices, funding agencies, and other key internal stakeholders.</span></p>
