Research Administrators Working Group (RAWG)

In 2006, OSP established a PreAward Departmental Administrators group to assist faculty with finding funding opportunities, developing and processing proposals for sponsored projects including submission to funding agencies, and ensuring compliance with University and sponsor policies and regulations. The following year, the group expanded its scope to include Post-Award administrators who support the project upon award. It was renamed Research Administrators Working Group to reflect this broadened scope and audience.
