Ohio Aerospace Institute has the experience and capability to pursue opportunities with various collaborative partners and funding sources. |
- OAI can assist in proposal preparation and contract administration by:
- Facilitating team building
- Coordinating technical and financial responses to solicitations
- Assuring that a proposal is responsive to agency guidelines
- Negotiating on behalf of team members to secure awards with the most favorable terms
- Acting as the fiscal agent receiving funding from the customer and disbursing funds to participants
- Preparing and submitting required technical and financial reports to the customer
- Monitoring project activity to ensure compliance with all program requirements
- Managing the entire life cycle of the project-from solicitation to close-out
|
| During the proposal and award negotiation phase, OAI and the customer will determine the best and most appropriate type of award vehicle for the current situation. OAI has experience with a wide variety of award agreements that are available. |
