AWARD ANALYST, Sponsored Programs

Tracking Code0466Job Description

Sponsored Programs is part of the Office of Research, a group dedicated to aiding the research community in navigating the lifecycle of their work, from finding funding to creating proposals to helping inventions find their way to the public.

Under the guidance of the Senior Managing Research Administrator, the Award Analyst is responsible for creating and modifying sponsored research accounts. This process involves reviewing award notices, account information and file documentation, verifying that all necessary internal approvals have been obtained, reviewing and adjusting budgets for set-up, recording appropriate data into the Kuali Coeus (KC) system, participating in award set-up QA, and issuing account notifications to Principal Investigators (PIs) and Department Administrators (DAs). The Award Analyst works closely with Research Administrators (RAs) in Sponsored Programs and Post Award Financial Operations (PAFO) to resolve issues and answer questions that arise during the award set-up process. The Award Analyst also provides backup for award intake and other KC and SAP operational functions.

Required Skills
  • A bachelor's degree and minimum of 1-3 years of experience working in an office setting, preferably within an institution of higher education or non-profit, is required.
  • The award analyst must be eager to learn, detail-oriented and comfortable handling multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. He or she must have strong analytical, communication and interpersonal skills and be comfortable working as part of a team.
  • Prior experience with pre- or post-award research administration activities, at either the department or central level, is highly desirable, but not required.

This position is eligible for the generous tuition remission at Boston University.

The employee frequently is required to stand; walk; use hands to finger, handle or feel; and reach with hands and arms and bend to lift items.

Organization

The Difference Is Our DNA

What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.

A Community Unlike Any Other

As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.

Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.

Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.

Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.

World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.

A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.

The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
