Under the limited direction of the Grants Manager, the Sponsored Programs Coordinator (SPC) manages an expanding portfolio of contracts, grants and multi-year, multi-institutional program projects within the College of Health Sciences (CHS), with direct oversight of all aspects of fiscal administration for all pre- and post-award activities for the faculty. A complex and rapidly changing teaching, research, and clinical environment that includes faculty and professionals, CHS has annual grant expenditures of approximately $22 million, a figure that is growing annually.

The SPC has the ability to work independently, effectively solve problems and make appropriate decisions under limited direction. Responsibilities include acting as a resource to the academic units and principle investigators in the College and serving as a liaison for all matters pertaining to contracts and grants. Requirements of the position include assuring accurate and timely grant submissions, verifying accuracy of budgets, ensuring compliance with UD policies and procedures, and facilitating timely closeouts to insure full revenue recognition. This office must effectively resolve a wide variety of intricate problems in the area of research administration, providing useful training and solutions to the user level when needed.

The SPC works closely with the Grants Manager in providing support for the development of strategic initiatives related to grants management of the College, including report generation using a variety of data sources and other resources. The SPC also provides direct supervision of miscellaneous wage and student workers, as appropriate.

The College's mission integrates research, inter-professional education, and clinical services, working with a range of other institutions in creating new models for translational research and education. The College is also playing a leading role in reforming healthcare delivery in partnership with key partners in the Delaware Health Science Alliance, including Christiana Care Healthcare System, A.I. Dupont Nemours Hospital, and Thomas Jefferson University. Increasingly, the research activities of the College are cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary, translational projects that require sophisticated and often complex inter- institutional coordination. The SSPC interacts with faculty and administrators across multiple units within the university, as well as with representatives of government entities, industry sponsors and other academic institutions.
