Rebecca Sandell has accepted the position of award and budget officer on the NDSU Research and Creative Activity-sponsored programs administration team. In the role, Sandell will assist faculty with proposal budget review, negotiate certain awards and provide guidance and support for post-award changes, including project extensions, principal investigator changes and re-budgeting.

Sandell has more than six years of experience working with grants at both NDSU and Sanford Health and, before serving as an RCA award intake officer, was a grant/business coordinator in the NDSU College of Science and Mathematics.

“We are excited to have Becca move to this new role on our team,” said Sponsored Programs Administration associate vice president Val Kettner. “She has broad experience with the whole grant administration process and will add additional support to both the proposal and award process as we continue to enhance our service and business processes.”

As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
