A seasoned post-award grant manager on your team is essential to maintaining grant compliance and ensuring a smooth, successful journey throughout the award period and beyond. ScienceDocs’ post-award research administration team routinely supports award-winning startups, universities, and research organizations with comprehensive post-award services — up to and including CPA-level consultation — for SBIR/STTR awards, academic grants, and research contracts.

Our support is scalable and flexible. Projects may range from a few focused hours of budget review or compliance consultation to ongoing post-award management for multi-year awards, including five-year federal contracts and complex, multi-institution grants. Regardless of scope, our goal is the same: to reduce administrative burden, minimize compliance risk, and allow investigators and leadership to stay focused on the science and execution.

ScienceDocs’ post-award grant managers work in close coordination with our pre-award team, creating continuity from proposal submission through award management, reporting, and closeout. This integrated approach ensures that budgets, milestones, and compliance obligations established during proposal development are consistently upheld throughout the life of the award.

Common post-award research administration services we provide include:

• Grant administration and compliance support for both federal and non-federal awards

• Budget development support, financial analysis, and required report generation

• Accounting system setup, expense reconciliation, and resolution of accounting issues

• Maintenance of appropriate records for audits, progress reports, and award closeouts

• Liaison support among prime institutions, subawardees, collaborators, and sponsoring agencies

• Human resources support, including monitoring salary, effort, and cost allocations

• Interpretation and ongoing guidance on agreement and contract requirements, policies, procedures, and terms and conditions

By combining deep regulatory knowledge with hands-on experience across diverse funding mechanisms, ScienceDocs provides post-award support that is proactive, responsive, and aligned with sponsor expectations. We serve as an extension of your internal team, helping ensure compliance, financial integrity, and long-term award success.
