Director of Sponsored Research at John Carroll University
Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area
As Director of Sponsored Research, I assist in pre-award (e.g., identifying funding opportunities, budget and proposal development) and post award management (e.g., negotiating contracts, preparing federal paperwork). My research compliance role involves the interpretation and application of federal and other regulations. Communications and PR work range from news articles to promotional pieces to web design. As an event planner, I coordinated the first sixth runnings of the week-long, campus-wide "A Celebration of Scholarship!"
In a professional capacity, I have reviewed several research compliance training modules (paper and web based) and served as a reviewer for federal grant proposals.
My free-lance writing and editing clients have included National City Corporate Communications, the Sun newspaper, and academic journals.
