The Proposal & Award Resource Center (PARC) is a service center established to help Principal Investigators from proposal preparation through the life of an award. PARC is designed to review and compile the components of a proposal submission to UCLA's Office of Contracts and Grants (OCGA) and the Funding Agency. When awarded, PARC will facilitate the establishment of Awards through OCGA and Extramural Fund Management (EFM) to ensure projects can begin promptly. PARC will provide financial management of awards and verify compliance with Federal/State/Private Agency procedures. When awards reach their expiration, PARC will manage the award close-out process and work with UCLA Campus Administration to ensure proper close-out of awards.
