Contacts

When should you contact OOR?

The Office of Research assists our PIs during the various stages of research from pre-award through award closeout.  You can’t go wrong if you contact our office.  We can either answer your questions or direct you to the person or persons who can.  Please email or call us for assistance.

When should a PI contact OSP?

PIs should contact the Grants and Contracts Officer in the Office of Sponsored Programs for any grant-related administrative issues that arise after an award has been made (non-financial, post-award issues).  These issues normally require a review of the award terms and conditions to determine what steps a PI needs to take in order to implement the post-award action.  It may also necessitate that contact be made with a sponsor; therefore, OSP serves as the liaison between the PI (ECU) and the sponsor.  These actions will most likely require that OSP negotiate with the sponsor and a modification be issued to amend the award/contract.  

The following are a few examples of these actions:

  • No Cost Extension
  • Supplemental Funding/Project Extension
  • Subcontract Awards
  • Change of PI
  • Award Transfer (In/Out)

OSP Representative for A&S:

E. Ramona Brown, Grants and Contracts Officer 252-328-9538 or brownet@ecu.edu

When should a PI contact OGC?

PIs should contact the Office of Grants and Contracts for any grant-related, post-award financial, effort reporting and compliance issues.  These issues normally require a review of the award terms and conditions to determine what steps a PI needs to take in order to implement a post-award action.  It may also require that contact be made with a sponsor; therefore, OGC serves as the liaison between the PI (ECU) and the sponsor.  These actions will most likely require negotiation with the sponsor, and on some occasions, a modification be issued to amend the award/contract.  If an amendment to the contract is required, OGC will alert OSP that a modification of award is forthcoming.  OSP will review and execute all modifications on behalf of the PI.

The following are a few examples of these actions:

  • A PI would like to exercise expanded authority (recover costs 90-days prior to start date)
  • Budget revision
  • Equipment transfer
  • Alterations and renovations
  • Award closeout
  • Redistribution of funds
  • Effort Reporting
