Business Office
The mission of the Geophysical Institute Business Office is to provide professional, effective, efficient and timely service to GI researchers, faculty, students, staff and management in all pre- and post-award and General Fund activities. We achieve this mission through providing pre-award coordination of proposal writing, budgeting and submission; in setting up new awards and sub-awards; in all business activities required to implement awards and manage
the GI’s general fund; and in financial monitoring and close-out of awards. We do this by working closely with GI faculty, researchers, students and staff, providing service to other departments and by liaising with central administrative functions, such as the University of Alaska Fairbanks Office of Sponsored Programs, UAF Procurement and Contract Services, the UAF Office of Grants and Contracts Administration and UAF Financial Services to ensure that GI’s needs are met in as timely a fashion as possible.
