Introduction to Pre Award

The Office of Sponsored Programs Pre-Award section has three primary functions:

1. Assist faculty with budget preparation
2. Review and submit proposals to external sponsors
3. Negotiate and set-up awards. Due to the time sensitive nature of budgets and proposal submissions, awards unfortunately become a lower priority when we are trying to meet sponsor submission deadlines.

All proposals submitted by Virginia Tech faculty must be submitted through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
