  • Budget Revisions: Coordinate and process necessary no-cost extensions, carry-over requests, and budget realignments/modifications with the PI and sponsor, as needed.
  • Subrecipient Monitoring: Assist in the financial and administrative monitoring of subawards, including invoicing review and compliance checks.
  • Effort certifications: Review certifications for compliance with federal regulations and institutional policies, and resolve discrepancies in collaboration with principal investigators and department administrators.

Grant Closeout:

  • Project Closeout: Manage the comprehensive closeout process for all assigned grants, ensuring all financial, administrative, and compliance requirements are met, including final financial reports, invention reporting, and document retention.
  • Audit Support: Assist internal and external auditors by providing documentation and clarification on grant expenditures and processes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
