Grants Administration

Welcome to the Department of Pathology Research Website!

The Department of Pathology Research office consists of pre and post award areas that work to provide the most efficient funding preparation and management support to Principal Investigators. We are knowledgeable on the rules and regulations of the University of Pittsburgh, the Federal Government and other sponsoring institutions or foundations as they relate to funding issues.

The pre-award staff assists faculty in preparing appropriate internal and external proposal documents (including budget preparation) and grant contract administration.

The post-award accounting area is responsible for managing post award accounting, financial reporting, account activation, purchasing, and invoicing and grant budget close out.

Disclaimer: On January 20, 2025 Executive Orders were issued (White House Presidential Actions), as the new administration took office. These Executive Orders signal changes in federal priorities, which could impact both your awarded projects and those awaiting funding from federal agencies or sponsors.

Please review Pitt's dedicated webpage for the latest updates and information: Executive Orders and Federal Funding | Pitt Research | University of Pittsburgh
