The Pre-Award process is managed by Will Ngo, [email protected], the Department's Pre-Award Liaison to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) office at UCSF. Our department pre-award specialist can help bridge the support for your pre-award needs to UCSF's central offices by providing expert administrative support to all researchers on all of their grant mechanisms. The Pre-Award Specialist works with the Principal Investigator (PI) and their sponsors so that PIs may be successful in their research grants.
