Pre-Award and Post-Award Staff Directory

All proposals for external funding (grants, subawards, contracts, consulting agreements) must be routed through the Office of Research and the Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation (KSURSF) is the legal applicant. The staff works closely with researchers at both the pre- and post-award stages to ensure a seamless operation.
