Recently the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) [formally known as Office of Sponsored Research OSR] announced that the Proposal & Award Communication Teamwork (PACT) initiative is underway.

The objective of Proposal & Award Communication Teamwork (PACT) is to create a strong partnership that is centered around effective communication between the department and the central office to support Research Administration at UNC. The key guidelines of PACT are to:

  • Provide guidance on critical topics
  • Increase transparency and support around critical elements of the award lifecycle through structured discussions
  • Build on best practices through regular occurring discussions

To maximize the efficiency gains offered by this initiative, the Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) will be adopting the portfolio, department-based, support structure like the OSP support model. The transition to this portfolio model will begin on today July 1st, 2022.

The Sponsored Programs Office is fully committed to a smooth transition and ensuring the long-term success in the PACT initiative.
