Coordinate institutional approvals and submission information at Boston University and across partner institutions, ensuring compliance with federal and university policy, including identifying the need for and assisting in obtaining institutional support letters when required, and obtaining all applicable compliance forms and documentation of internal approvals (e.g. cost sharing, F&A waiver/reduction, internal forms) required for University authorization to submit proposal; interface with sponsor application systems and coordinate appropriate account access for PIs.
