Proposal Manager, Office of Sponsored Research - Georgetown University Medical Center

The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) is the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) and the only GUMC organization authorized to bind the Medical Center in sponsored research agreements. OSR is responsible for reviewing grant and contract applications for compliance with sponsor and University policies, in cooperation with other University administrative offices. All research and training grant and contract applications, without exception, must be approved by the Director or Deputy Director of OSR or their designee, prior to submission.

The quality of research proposals submitted to funding agencies has a direct effect on research dollars received by the Medical Center. Proposals that do not meet Sponsor guidelines may be rejected outright, or culled during the peer review process, resulting in the potential loss of support for research activities. The OSR Proposal Manager (PM) provides pre-award services and support to medical center investigators. Duties include but are not limited to:

• Reviews of all research proposals for submission to federal, other governments, and private funding agencies, which includes a thorough review of the proposal budget, the program announcement or request for proposal, compliance requirements and adherence to sponsor and University policies and guidelines.

• Outreach and training to investigators and departmental personnel related to conducting research at GU.
• Participates in the maintenance of the OSR website, e.g., posting upcoming announcements for funding; coordinating with the Dean for Research Office on circulating funding announcements; acting as a liaison with internal offices, especially the Office of Research Development Services and other GU offices responsible for compliance and oversight; attending meetings of the internal Proposal Review Committee and acting as a liaison to external funding agencies.
• Is proficient in the use of Georgetown University's financial database for award tracking and maintenance, GMS.

This position is deadline driven and requires a high degree of professionalism in frequent interactions with GUMC faculty and staff.
