Sponsored Awards Management

The Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research Sponsored Awards Management team manages all pre and post award aspects of sponsored research.  

This includes but is not limited to the following areas:

  • Hebrew SeniorLife's (HSL) protection of human subjects in research and the HSL Institutional Review Board (IRB)
  • The Marcus Institute's responsible conduct of research 
  • The Marcus Institute’s financial conflict of interest in research program
  • Negotiation and acceptance of awards and research related agreements on behalf of the Marcus Institute and Hebrew SeniorLife
  • Management of post-award sponsored programs finance and administration
  • Accountability and compliance with Federal, State, sponsor, and HSL rules and regulations
  • Research Computing 

Indirect Costs (IDC) are also known as facilities and administrative costs or overhead.  The Marcus Institute's IDC rate is the federally approved percentage applied to sponsored projects to recover the costs associated with performing the activities of the research project and managing the research project.
