Department Spotlight: The Grants Team - Powering Research Behind the Scenes 🌟💪
Meet the dedicated team behind the IU Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences research success: Sarah Hamilton (left), Sheri Mundy (left-center), Sherry Hudson (right-center), and Isabella Stuart (right). Together, they form the Radiology Grants Team - a group of skilled professionals who support faculty in navigating the complex world of federal and foundation research funding.
The grants team is crucial to our department's research, expertly managing proposals from start to finish. They handle pre-award tasks like interpreting guidelines, assisting with budgets, and ensuring compliance, and provide post-award support including expenditure tracking, subaward management, and guideline adherence.
To ensure comprehensive support, faculty should notify the grant team at least two months before proposal submission. This allows the team to develop strong applications and meet deadlines effectively.
Thanks to the dedication of Sheri, Sarah, Isabella, and Sherry, our researchers can concentrate on their science, confident that the administrative aspects of grant acquisition and management are expertly handled. Their work is vital to funding groundbreaking innovation in radiology.
"The grants team is truly the backbone of our research mission. Without their knowledge and hard work, we would not be able to fulfill our research goals, and the department would not be as highly ranked and respected for our innovative research. They not only ensure our funding applications go out and maintain compliance, they do it with a positive attitude. I am thankful to have such a great group in our department!"
- Jason Allen, MD, PhD, FACR, Chair, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences
