The Grants Administrator works under supervision to

obtain, analyze, and evaluate complex quantitative

information utilizing computer-driven analytical

systems in order to make comparisons and form

recommendations. Performs comparative analysis of

grantee or applicant grant proposals with historical

data to develop recommendations on program

selection, contract terms, or prices. Researches and

uses the most appropriate methodology to forecast

program completion cost. Verifies grant cost data with

Government accounting and audit agency or other

benchmark rates. Analyzes grant applications,

including such aspects as evaluating technical and performance reports, evaluating economic factors and

cost reasonableness, evaluating implementation

efficiencies, and evaluating applicant methods of

allocating cost through various types of overhead and

general and administrative expense as appropriate. In

addition s/he will be working toward possessing the

qualifications required for signature authority for grant

awards. Actual award signature authority is reserved

for government personnel.
