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.
