About Us
Find Your URA
Unit Research Administrators (URAs) provide essential pre-award and post-award support for CAS faculty.
Let your URA know as early as possible in the pre-award process that you are planning or developing a grant proposal as s/he can assist you with many of the pre-award activities to include checking compliance requirements, reviewing agency guidelines, linking you to the ORS proposal narrative review assistance, preparing the budget, completing the proposal form set, collecting supporting documents, assembling the complete application package, and submitting the proposal to Sponsored Research.
Your URA can also provide post-award support to include completing the Grant Budget Release (GBR), coordinating the receiving of the award number, completing and submitting a FAST Workflow Request, completing compliance forms. managing the budget, and completing the final award closeout.
Oversight, training, and support for CAS URAs are provided by Senior URA Erin Jensen, MBA, who also serves as liaison support to URAs on St. Pete and Sarasota campuses and assists with pre-award and post-award support to SHUM & SSS faculty.
CAS URAs are llisted alphabetically by department.
