  • Distribute collected reports to internal stakeholders including program and finance leads.
  • Maintain archival systems for all received documentation.
  • Advisory Committee Coordination

    Support three primary scientific advisory committees, each dedicated to a strategic area of the research portfolio. Responsibilities include :

  • Ensure accuracy of internal databases, including grantee contact lists, summary documents, and institutional affiliations.
  • Cross-Program & General Support

  • Website Management
  • Maintain content for the research funding program's public pages; ensure accuracy of announcements, documents, and committee listings.

  • Communication & Liaison
  • Draft correspondence and manage communications with applicants, grantees, and institutional contacts as directed.
  • Provide internal support to leadership and program staff by generating ad hoc reports, tracking deliverables, and coordinating cross-team initiatives.
  • Cross-Training
  • Serve as backup support for parallel grant programs across the organization to ensure continuity during absences or peak periods.
