Manage Your Award |
Managing a grant can be overwhelming! In collaboration with the College of Education Principle/Co- Investigator(s), the COERO Research Coordinator for Post-Award Administration provides financial management assistance, guidance, and consultations. Support is provided to navigate and explain the many processes associated with receiving an award and provide advice for unique situations that can occur due to unexpected project changes after proposal submission, during award negotiations, or new developments in any active project year.
Please contact Rebecca Torres (r_w124@txstate.edu) prior to completing any TXST forms for your grant, as she can direct you to the current version of the relevant forms and provide information about their completion. Thank you!
