Sr. Grants & Contracts Analyst

We are seeking a Sr. Grants & Contracts Analyst who will provide dedicated professional level sponsored funds management for more than 80% of the time, assuming responsibility for pre‑award and post‑award functions including proposal preparation, submission, budget development, account maintenance and oversight, billing/invoicing, reporting, compliance, and closeout.

This position works independently on a variety of grants and contracts that range from moderately to highly complex. Projects may involve highly detailed budgets, multiple projects, cores and subawards, investigator‑initiated projects, consortiums, DOD requirements, high‑complexity foundation grants, and pharmaceutical‑company sponsored clinical trials. While the role may assist with aspects of non‑sponsored funds, the primary focus is the timely, effective, and efficient management of sponsored funding.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

• Oversee and direct complex award management activities including monitoring and managing accounts, audits, evaluations, and reporting.
• Partner with faculty and/or budgetary staff and the Office of Research Administration to plan and develop application submissions to federal agencies, private foundations, and commercial companies.
• Ensure compliance with institutional policies for the pre‑award process and sponsor guidelines.
• Review sponsored project proposals for assigned faculty prior to forwarding to the Grants & Contracts Manager and/or ORA for signature, ensuring accuracy and adherence to relevant guidelines.
• Prepare timely budgets for principal investigator review.
• Serve as liaison between research units, central offices, and funding agencies.
• Review budgets and related justifications for appropriateness and completeness of content.
• Provide groundwork for subcontract negotiations.
• Maintain compliance related to grant and contract management, including sponsor guidelines, internal protocols, accurate protocol information, conflicts of interest, and other requirements.
• Maintain ongoing updates and communications on current awards, including regular auditing and reporting to principal investigators on financial status and to departmental leadership as needed.
• Manage related post‑award processes, including award setup, review, account verification, and appropriate set‑up of staff accounts.
• Ensure post‑award responsibilities are completed, including budget distribution, account reconciliation, e‑form setup, effort reporting, cost transfers, invoice payments, and finalizing paperwork related to subcontract setup.
• Provide information and assistance to complete closeouts as needed.
• Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree.
• Four years of related experience in sponsored research and/or financial positions.
• Additional education may substitute for required experience, and additional related experience may substitute for required education beyond a high school diploma, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.
• Successful completion of the Research Administration Training Program (13‑15 months) is equivalent to two years of relevant experience for this position.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an academic or medical setting.
