College faculty manage their proposals and grant awards using sponsored programs services (SPS), which utilizes the Research Administration Support Center (RASC) model. SPS support for College faculty consist of two team members in the pre-award process (a Proposal Manger and Budget Specialist) and one team member during the post-award (Finance Manager).
