Award groups are how we assign awards to financial research administrators in Sponsored Programs Services. Loosely, award groups are a collection of awards belonging to the same or similar sponsors. The award group for a specific award may be found on the award header in Workday. Likewise, the Award Contract Owner listed on the award header is the SPS team member assigned to manage that award.
How are we doing?
We encourage the WSU system to share feedback on SPS’s performance. Are we meeting your needs? Did a member of our team go above and beyond to support you? Do you have feedback or ideas about how and where we could improve?
Please share with us via our Jira Feedback Service Desk.
COVID-19 Provisions
For the safety and welfare of our team, Sponsored Programs Services has transitioned to nearly 100% remote work for the duration of COVID-19’s gathering size restrictions. The preferred method for reaching us during this time is via email. Please include the appropriate team manager in your communication to ensure coverage. We remain committed to supporting WSU’s research enterprise, and appreciate your patience and partnership.
