Angel Perez Pre-award grant manager

I have over 15 years of sponsored research experience.  I sat for my Certified Research Administrator® (CRA) examination in 2016 and I have maintained that certification to date.  My primary concern is ensuring extraordinary support for SI’s diverse assemblage of outstanding laboratories.  My primary focus is to assist faculty, postdoctoral, and pre-doctoral fellows in their efforts to secure and maintain external funding from various sponsoring agencies while complying with those same agencies’ guidelines and regulations and fostering collaborations amongst colleagues.  In my spare time, I enjoy being with my four dogs, pretending to be a master mixologist, and trying new restaurants.  I am a tea and chocolate snob, and dabble in gardening, crocheting, and jam making.
