What do we do?

The post-award team is responsible for the administration of research funding and contract management. They offer support with administration of projects after research awards have been received, including:

• advice on the terms and conditions of grant awards
• formally accepting awards on behalf of the College
• setting up project accounts on Oracle Grants Finance System
• calculate the transfer of indirect costs to departments
• raise purchase orders for research partners
• maintaining budgets and budget amendments
• costing and approving staff advertisements, appointments and contract extensions
• preparation of financial statements and invoices for sponsors
• support the audit and assurance process on awards where required
• closing project accounts

For all queries relating to the creation and activation of new research award accounts on the grants system, please email rssetup.engineering@imperial.ac.uk

Please also see the Research office site for information and guidance relating to the administration of the College’s externally funded research portfolio.

The post-award process is managed by the post-award team.
