Download or read book Grants and Contracts Handbook written by Paul C. Holman and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 1990 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the roles of administration is to assist the faculty and staff of an institution in the development and administration of grants. A portion of this role includes fulfilling an obligation to sponsors who have furnished funding for vital activities by providing administrative direction. Covering such topics as preparing an application, tax exemption, cost sharing, time extensions, and proposal evaluation by the sponsor, this handbook was designed to be a basic reference for grant and contract applicants, executors, project managers, administrators, and staff. The material for this handbook is the result of 20 years' worth of collecting information and ideas from institutions, agencies, and sponsors throughout the nation and has been generalized by using the institutional business office as the institutional grants office. Individual institutions may wish to restructure this handbook and the 18 topics covered to more closely match their own institutional structure. A glossary of terms, an internal approval form, a list of budget categories, and an assurance certification declaration for the protection of human subjects are appended. (KM)
