IOA Grants Management Team

Team Leader: Nancy K. Cheek Jenkins, Deputy Director for Business, Finance & Research Administration

The grants management team at the Sheps Center assists IOA investigators with the development of budgets, budget justifications and works with the University system to route contracts and grants as dictated by funding sources and deadlines. This team also manages the accounts after grants and contracts are awarded.

IOA Information Services Team

A Librarian from the UNC Health Sciences Library assists IOA investigators in searching literature and secondary data sources and provide consultation on developing bibliographic databases. The library provides reference and bibliographic services. Digital and hard copy resources are collected and catalogued on a continuing basis for all research, education and service areas of the IOA.
