Pre-Award and Fellowship Support

The pre-award administrator provides support by finalizing budgets and required documents for proposal submission according to agency guidelines. If you plan to submit any unsolicited federal, state, and private grant, you should notify the administrator at least 30-days in advance. After notification, a submission schedule will be established for submitting the proposal to ensure that the applicant meets the agency’s deadline. All grants and fellowships require the official institutional signatures, therefore, your final version of the application should be submitted five working days before the application due date. The administrator will obtain official signatures and forward originals and required copies to the Office of Research Affairs by 9:00AM 4 working days before the agency deadline.

If you have questions, please contact the pre-award administrator at 415-476-8416.

Purchasing Information

Purchasing is coordinated at our central administrative offices by Lucita Nacionales, 476-4586. Please see the forms and templates link on the left to find necessary forms, let Lucita know if you’d like additional forms added.

For project specific purchases with federal funds, i.e. office supplies or fed ex charges, the requestor needs to provide a brief justification on why it is related specifically to the research.  The justification information will be kept by the department as backup documentation.  Most purchasing does not require this special justification, but if you aren’t sure, feel free to ask your PI or financial analyst.

General Overview of Purchasing Flow:
1. Request from lab is routed to the central administrative office via web purchasing
2. Lucita processes order
3. Order received, route all packing slips and other documents to the AA
