The Office of Contracts and Grants is the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) and administrator for all externally funded sponsored research on the CU Boulder campus.

OCG Grant and Contract Officers review, negotiate and accept all incoming award agreements and assist with overall award management, including approving and processing modifications and revisions. OCG's Subcontract Officers prepare and issue outgoing subawards, and OCG's Compliance team manages government property, travel and award closeout.

The Departmental Financial Management Guide provided by the Campus Controller's Office covers many aspects of sponsored projects in Chapter 14. This is a resource for those whose work involves post-award responsibilities for sponsored projects administration.
