Post-Award Toolkit

The post-award team is committed to supporting the COEHS research community with professional expertise and quality customer service in the management of externally funded projects. In supporting COEHS staff and faculty engaged in sponsored research activity, we strive to ensure transparency and compliance with all stakeholders.

We often are asked what is the difference between the research support team (RST) and the fiscal shared services (FSS), and the answer is the source of the funding. The easiest way to tell is to look at your index number. If it says 356XXX then you will send your requests to coeresearch@unm.edu, and if the index is any other number contact FSScoe@unm.edu.

Here are a few things we can help you with regarding managing your award. Click the option to find the link or to learn more:
