Reminder Regarding Recipient and Applicant Grants Policy Related Inquiries
Research Administrators, please share this information with your PIs!
Inquiries regarding general grants policy matters, including administrative matters such as prior approval requests, should be directed to the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP), specifically the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR). DSP staff serve as the AOR for the UI’s sponsored project awards, including grants and contracts.
The above is true for all sponsored research grants and contracts. However, currently the NIH grants policy inbox is experiencing an increasing volume of inquiries that are best directed to the recipient or applicant organization’s internal grants administration contacts (e.g., the Division of Sponsored Programs). This NIH notice serves as a reminder regarding recipient and applicant grants policy related inquiries.
If you are already working with a DSP grant or contract reviewer, contact that reviewer with your administrative or policy related inquiry. Otherwise please send your inquiry to one of the following email addresses that are shared and handled by pertinent DSP personnel:
For Grants:
- nih@uiowa.edu – for NIH/PHS inquiries
- era@uiowa.edu – for all other federal and private inquiries
For Contracts:
