OHSU’s Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA), Principal Investigators (PI’s), and department administrative staff all share responsibility for appropriate management and oversight of sponsored project awards. SPA in particular has direct accountability for ensuring overall institutional compliance with federal, sponsor, and institutional regulations governing the proper handling of sponsor funds. The SPA Stewardship Alliance is designed to improve post-award financial and administrative business practices through fostering effective communication channels for SPA/campus interaction and by documenting the division of responsibilities and agreed-upon best practices in the administration of sponsored project awards throughout the University.
