There are multiple layers involved in the NJIT management of the Sponsored Research Enterprise.  However, they can be classified into these overall areas:

• NJIT’s Strategic Plan and Research Mission
• Identifying funding opportunities
• Proposal preparation
• Award negotiation
• Award management

• Intellectual property protection and technology transfer
• Effort commitment and certification
• Communication of policies and processes

Grant Management relates to all of the administrative tasks required to handle the money, reporting, and program implementation in a way that meets generally accepted standards as well as the requirements of the funding source.

It is ensuring that program staff have the latitude to accomplish something meaningful at the same time that every obligation to the funding source is met and fall within governing regulations.

The Office of Research provides research and development support services through the following units:
