Who is authorized to submit a proposal on behalf of Rowan University?
Authorized institutional representatives to sign proposals and applications:

Contracting Officer, or Shreekanth Mandayam, Associate Provost for

When a sponsor issues contracts, OSP will ensure they are fully
reviewed by our Compliance and Contracts Officer as well as Contracts and
Procurement, signed by an authorized representative, and mailed back to the
sponsor.

It is important that OSP is notified in the event of an award. If
contracts are taken directly to the President’s Office or the PI does not notify
OSP of an award, processing of post-award paperwork to set up a fund account is
delayed.
