Departmental Research Administration Contacts
Search for contacts by department name or UDDS

Where does this information come from?

The pre-award and post award contacts listed for a given department are populated based on the WISPER authorization tables. Specifically, the ‘post-award’ table is used to populate the post-award contacts, and the ‘WISPER Pre-Award’ table is used to populate the pre-award contacts.

How do I update the contacts listed for a department?

Each Dean’s Office has access to update these tables with the correct contacts for each department. To request an update, please contact your Dean’s Office. Contact information for each Dean’s Office is located in the “Division & Dean's Office Contacts” section above.

How do I update a department name?

Department names are managed by Business Services. To request a name correction/change associated with a department ID, please contact your fiscal staff in your Dean’s Office. The Dean’s Office will then work with Business Services to make certain the necessary changes are made.
