Routing for Post-award Grant Agreements
Post-award contracts related to an awarded federal, state, or other sponsored grant that require an institutional signature are routed by the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP) to the administrative contact for the grant; the ORSP director; the dean or head of the unit where the grant is housed; the grant accountant; and Saint Mary’s institutional signatory or designee. Carbon copies are sent to the primary investigator / project director (PI/PD); any other administrators in the PI/PD’s reporting line; and the provost or their designee.
