BACKGROUND
This position will collaborate with the Grants Administrator to research and develop new grant-funded projects and to assist with the financial and programmatic requirements of current grants. This position will also facilitate contract approvals and Munis requisitions for payment. Grant awards for the 2017 calendar year were approximately $5,000,000 dollars. The year-to-year increase in grant funding requires greater oversight for compliance. This position allows the Grants Administrator to spend more time writing grant applications and less time on program management.
