The Contracts and Clinical Trials unit within OSP has adopted a new model, and has
divided its responsibilities into three expertise teams that will oversee different
types of agreements. At this time, some federal flow through proposals and award activity will transition to the Grants and Contracts Specialists team under the leadership of Sabrina Cerezo, Assistant Director for Grants.
You can access the types of agreements, how they are divided, and who is your point of contact on our Agreements and Negotiations webpage.
Why the new operational model? The team of Contracts and Clinical Trials Specialists, under the leadership of Dawn Alomar, Assistant Director for Contracts, supports all of the University’s research contractual activity.
The Expertise model has been carefully evaluated based on each Specialist’s role, and their specialized administrative, budgetary, legal, and regulatory experience associated with contractual activities, in order to facilitate an effective, timely and accurate review and execution of agreements. Staff experience, training, current resources, complexity of agreements and average timelines to complete negotiations, are some key factors considered to achieve faster turnaround while protecting the interest and integrity of the University and allowing faculty and staff to fulfill their mission of providing excellence in the interrelated areas of patient care, research, and education.
