Hi Kristen,
Our process can vary by grant program but is generally as follows:
- Financial and written progress reports are checked for completeness by a Grants Coordinator.
- Financial and written progress reports are reviewed by a Grants Officer to flag for any issues or concerns related to progress/spending (if the staff does not have scientific background to review progress, a senior scientific staff member may get pulled in).
- For auditing purposes, the preference is that all reports must get approved by an external scientific reviewer. We will either send them to past reviewers or summarize our findings and send to the review chair. We will elevate any specific issues that were flagged internally for their consideration.
Hopefully this helps!
Lindsay
