Research Compliance Analyst

Grants Administrator

We are seeking a Research Compliance Analyst to support a Sponsored Programs Administration team. This role focuses on the administrative and compliance aspects of grant submissions in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment. The ideal candidate will manage competing deadlines while ensuring strict adherence to sponsor and institutional requirements. This is an administrative compliance position, not a scientific review role.

Key Responsibilities

• Review research proposals for administrative and technical compliance with formatting, documentation, and sponsor guidelines.
• Ensure the completeness of submissions, including NIH applications and foreign collaboration requirements.
• Manage a high volume of proposals, particularly during peak seasons.
• Partner with department administrators and lab staff to request corrections and finalize submissions.
• Track and manage proposals using internal systems such as eGrants and PeopleSoft.
• Prepare finalized submissions for routing to leadership for approval and signature.
• Monitor deadlines to ensure all submissions meet internal and sponsor timelines.
• Support proposal lifecycle activities, including compliance interpretation and documentation review.

Required Qualifications

Experience in grant administration, research operations, or compliance-heavy administrative roles is required. The candidate must have experience working in high-volume, deadline-driven environments and possess strong attention to detail for reviewing documentation. Experience with tracking systems or databases is also necessary.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting NIH or federally funded research proposals.
• Familiarity with the pre-award lifecycle within Sponsored Programs.
• Exposure to higher education or academic medical center environments.

Compensation & Benefits

A compensation range of $30.00 to $40.00 per hour is offered for this position. Overtime may be available. A benefits package is available to eligible employees.
