About The Position

The Division of Pulmonary is seeking a Sr. Grants & Contracts Analyst to provide dedicated professional sponsored-funds management for more than 80% of the role. The position is responsible for pre-award and post-award functions, including proposal preparation and submission, budget development, account maintenance and oversight, billing and invoicing, reporting, compliance, and closeout.

These may include detailed budgets; multiple projects, cores, and subawards; investigator-initiated projects; consortiums; DOD requirements; complex foundation grants; and pharmaceutical-company-sponsored clinical trials. The role may assist with non-sponsored funds, but its primary focus is the timely, effective, and efficient management of sponsored funding.
