The University of Texas at Arlington

Grant and Contract Services

Grant & Contract Services works with University faculty and staff throughout the campus in the identification of potential funding sources and development of proposals for sponsored projects in all areas such as research, education, training, curriculum development, equipment acquisition, public service and, occasionally, institutional and departmental activities.

The sponsored project may be in the form of a grant or a contract. In the pre-award phase of administration, GCS is responsible for the final review of all grant proposals to make certain they conform to the current regulations of the University, State, and Federal guidelines, and the potential sponsor before they are signed by a signatory officer of the University. All contracts and agreements for sponsored projects are also negotiated and signed by our office.

The staff of Grant & Contract Services is pleased to have an active role working with the faculty and staff of the University in the complex process of proposal preparation and sponsored program administration. You may contact the Grant & Contract specialist member assigned to your area for assistance. 

GCS activities are divided into two phases:  pre-award and post-award.

• Pre-award:  In this stage GCS works closely with the faculty and staff to help them identify funding opportunities and develop proposals. GCS reviews final proposals prior to submission to make certain they conform to the current regulations of the University, the State, and the potential sponsor before they are signed by an authorized individual of the University.
• Post-award:  Upon receipt of an award from a funding agency, GCS initiates the internal paperwork to establish a University account. GCS works with the principal investigators, the University administrative offices, and the sponsor to ensure that the project is carried out in compliance with the conditions of the award, and monitors the project until it is completed and the final technical and fiscal reports are submitted.

GCS staff takes an active role in proposal preparation and sponsored program administration.  We work with the faculty and staff to help them with this complex process.
