Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) provides support for the VA research community in the following primary areas: the submission of extramural grant and contract applications, negotiation of new award terms and conditions, authorizing BVARI accounts for your new awards, and administering the business aspects of grants and contracts.
Please contact the SPA staff as soon as you begin planning your extramural grant or contract application. We will go over the sponsor guidelines with you, help you prepare the application and guide you through all VA requirements. The SPA staff will help you formulate your budget, write the budget justification and organize other parts of the application’s business submission.
The SPA staff will coordinate the negotiating & executing of a CRADA (Cooperative Research And Development Agreement) whenever that agreement is needed for an award. The SPA staff is also involved when your new project includes a sub-award, when you need to revise an existing award’s budget or when you need to address any project management concern.
You can find templates and core information in the links on this page.
