This position provides an option to work on-site, hybrid or fully remote, following the University's remote work guidelines.
Reporting to the Associate Director of Pre-Award, the Senior Grants Administrator works directly with faculty PIs to navigate the proposal preparation process, including the compilation of proposal documents and budgets as well as the review of compliance requirements. As a shared service model, delivering outstanding customer service, proactive communication, and meticulous attention to deadline-driven requirements is vital.
OSP's mission is to provide leadership in research administration, support the research endeavors of University faculty, ensure the responsible stewardship of research funding, and oversee the submission of proposals and the negotiation and acceptance of awards by the University according to State, University and sponsor regulations.

  • Budget Creation: Prepare, draft, and revise detailed proposal budgets and justifications in full alignment with sponsor guidelines, institutional policies, and fiscal standards.
  • Portal Submissions: Complete administrative forms and upload finalized proposal packages into sponsor systems and UVA's eRA system.
  • Subject Matter Expertise: Serve as a subject matter expert on research administration, ensuring compliance with state, Federal and University rules, regulations, policies and practices (such as FAR, Uniform Guidance, sponsor guidelines, etc.) and provide guidance to staff and faculty in understanding applicable policies and obligations.
  • Compliance Review: Review proposals to ensure compliance with University, State, and Sponsor guidelines.
  • Post-Submission & Lifecycle Assistance: Facilitate pre-award post-submission requests, including Just-In-Time (JIT) documentation, PI transfers, pre-award spending approvals, and standard Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPRs) or non-competing continuations.

In addition to the above job responsibilities, other duties may be assigned.
This is a restricted position with a planned term of 2yr, after which time continuation of employment will be contingent upon funding availability and satisfactory performance.
Minimum Requirements
Education: Bachelor's degree required. Four additional years of relevant experience may be accepted in lieu of degree.
Experience: Five years of grant and contract experience.
Physical Demands: This is primarily a sedentary job involving extensive use of desktop computers. The job does occasionally require traveling some distance to attend meetings, and programs.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience: At least 5 (five) years relevant experience supporting pre-award grants and contracts in a higher education research administration environment.
Licensure: Certified Research Administrator (CRA) certification or similar.
